Because Of You

Before you it's been awhile before I slipped up

Before you I never thought to give a fuck

Before you I was satisfied on my own

Before you I never let myself go

Before this I was always on the wrong side

Before this I was always bad at hanging onto pride

But before this I was professional about how to hide

What was goin on on the inside

And before you I was so content

Yeah before you I was unaware of it

I was unaware of my loneliness

Now because of you, I remember why I have no self respect

Because of you, I remember why I always felt hopeless

I remember why my perception of love was demented

I remember why I'm such a mess, why I'm such a mess

Because of you, I remember why I was satisfied with lust

Because of you, I remember why I will never truly trust

Before you there were more yous and I know now why I will never expect much

Thought I forgot, but thanks a lot, cause now because of you

I remember why I don't love, I remember why I don't love.

Before you I had control of this

Before you I never let my heart win

Before you I was on my way to freedom

Before you I never let myself give in

To the disappointment of unrequited love

To the mislead illusion of mutual trust

I was unaware of how bad love was

Now because of you, I remember why I have no self respect

Because of you, I remember why I always felt hopeless

I remember why my perception of love was demented

I remember why I'm such a mess, why I'm such a mess

Because of you, I remember why I was satisfied with lust

Because of you, I remember why I will never truly trust

Before you there were more yous and I know now why I will never expect much

Thought I forgot, but thanks a lot, cause now because of you

I remember why I don't love, I remember why I don't love.

When somebody walks away

And you feel replaced

Left with your own embrace

Apart of you gives up hope

Once you let it go

You never wanna go

Back again

I look at you and I see him

All over again

And because of him, I lost all my self respect

Because of him, I was always left hopeless

Because of him, my perception of love is demented

I remember why I'm such a mess, why I'm such a mess

And because of you, I remember why I'm satisfied with lust

Because of you, I remember why I will never truly trust

Before you there were more yous and I know now why I will never expect much

I thought I forgot, but thanks a lot, cause now because of you

I remember why I don't love, I remember why I don't love.
