Prompt / Lyrics
I was a boy with a heart wide open, no games, no lies, just hope unspoken. Then you came in with that wildfire smile, made me think this love could stay a while. We had plans under stars, nights out, camping lights, you said I felt different, like I finally fit right. But that one night, too much drink in your veins, you said, “Come on, let’s do it,” but it just felt wrong that way. (Pre-Chorus) Then you ghosted like I never meant a thing, left me hanging with the questions and the sting. By the time I tried to fix it, you were gone with him… (Chorus) Because of you I became the guy I never meant to be. Because of you locked up my heart and threw away the key. Now I don’t sleep alone, but I feel empty inside, hurt some girls along the way, and I’m not proud of the lies. Because of you I learned how cold a broken heart can move… But all I ever wanted was to love you. (Verse 2) Played it cool like it never cut deep, new names, new nights, but no one felt complete. Every kiss was just a cover for the pain, acting wild just to numb what stayed the same. I was the boy who believed love fixed the cracks, but you rewrote me, never wanted me back. Searching for your fire in the wrong kind of flames, running through the darkness just to call your name. (Pre-Chorus) And every time I think I’m finally over you, some memory hits me with the truth— I was soft, I was real… you just never felt it too. (Chorus) Because of you I became the guy I never meant to be. Because of you locked up my heart and threw away the key. Now I don’t sleep alone, but I feel empty inside, hurt some girls along the way, and I’m not proud of the lies. Because of you I learned how cold a broken heart can move… But all I ever wanted was to love you. (Rap Bridge) Yeah, I changed up, messed up, turned my heart to a gun I kept tucked. Every night another name, no trust — but none of them were you, that’s the real stuff. Could’ve been real, could’ve built something true, but you ran off fast, left me bruised in the blue. So I built up walls, let the wrong girls through — now I’m tryna fix the damage I became… because of you. (Final Chorus) Because of you had to burn down everything I knew. Because of you I learned the hard way what love shouldn’t do. And maybe someday when the healing’s finally through, I’ll find someone who stays, no matter how it burns. Because of you I know what love should never turn into… And what it one day might become.
