• Because of you
    I learned to love myself
    Because of you
    I finally felt true happiness
    Because of you
    The pain slowly faded away
    Because of you
    I learned I deserved better
    Because of you
    I grew in my heart so much
    Because of you
    I learned what to love meant
    Because of you
    I had a life worth living

    Because of you
    I learned the true pain of love
    Because of you
    Everything feels so wrong
    Because of you
    The pain won't go away
    Because of you
    I'm so lost and alone
    Because of you
    I don't know what to do
    Because of you
    I cry so many, many tears

    Because I love you
    I can't seem to leave you
    Because I love you
    I can't seem to stay mad
    Because I love you
    I'm letting go of everything
    Because I love you
    I just want to be your friend

    Because I love you
    I will never truly forget
    Because I love you
    I'll always wait for your return
    Because I love you
    I want so badly to be with you

    But because I love you
    I truly want you to be happy
    And I know you deserve better
    And I know I can't be the one
    So because I love you
    I'm not going to say a word

    And because I love you
    I'm not holding on to my dreams
    The one of being in your arms
    At least, not quite so tightly
    And I won't let myself break
    And I'll put the pieces together
    And heal the best that I can
    Because I love you.
