Because of You

Because of you, I learned to love Because of you, I learned to trust It was you who showed me how to feel Took my dreams, made them real You showed me what it means To act without any fear And seize the moment, trust your heart To live in love and act the part I trusted you, I loved you And believed that you loved me And that was real, all I could hold That was the only truth I could see And then one day, my world fell Came crashing down around me A late night call, a lie was told And I lost all trust I’d come to know Then the anger, and the pain The arguments ensued I knew inside you were hiding But still, I believed in you I tried to hold you, was pushed away Both in your heart and with hands You wouldn’t let me love you And I just didn’t understand Still I tried, until you screamed And said such ugly things That I withdrew my heart from you Because I couldn’t stand the pain Then one day, without a word I watched you drive away I waited for you to return But you left my life that day I remember the fear I held for you Not knowing where you were Never once suspecting You had run away to her My heart shattered, my dreams all gone Left me wondering what I’d done wrong I took the blame, believed your lies And a part of me inside had died Truth be known, the love remains Some things inside will never change I still want to believe your lies Yet too often you see me cry Because of you, my heart is torn Because of you, I live with doubt Afraid to step too far alone Still waiting for the truth unknown Not trusting anyone or anything From the loss of faith, remembering All the promises made and vows unspoken A heart destroyed, but a love unbroken I don’t know anymore who I am And I surely don’t know who you are You’re not the man I once loved so much All that remains of him is my broken heart And it’s all because of you…
