Because of You

(Verse 1)

I will not copy all the moves you made

I will not let my heart get so betrayed

I will not shatter like you did

You broke so hard

I learned from your mistakes, to never let it go that far

(Chorus)

And now because of you

I never wander past the edge I know

And now because of you

I learned to build my walls up, so I don't let go

And I don't get hurt

And now because of you

I find it hard to trust what people say

Or even what I'm feeling

And now because of you

I'm this way

(Verse 2)

I lose my step

And I can almost hear you point it out

I cannot cry

Because you taught me that's what weakness is about

I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh

To get me through the day

My heart can't possibly be broken

When it was never whole anyway

(Chorus)

And now because of you

I never wander past the edge I know

And now because of you

I learned to build my walls up, so I don't let go

And I don't get hurt

And now because of you

I find it hard to trust what people say

Or even what I'm feeling

And now because of you

I'm this way

(Bridge)

I saw you break (I saw you break)

I heard you crying

Every night when you were sleeping

I was so young (and you're so young)

You should have known better (I was too young for that)

Than to make me bear that weight

You never saw past your own struggle

You never even saw my pain (you never saw me)

And now I lie awake

In the middle of the night

For the exact same thing

(Chorus)

And now because of you

I never wander past the edge I know

And now because of you

I learned to build my walls up, so I don't let go

And I don't get hurt

And now because of you

I find it hard to trust what people say

Or even what I'm feeling

And now because of you

I'm this way

(Outro)

All because of you

All because of you
