Because Of You

I don’t think I can believe you

I damn sure know I need to leave you

I’m fully prepared to take it on the brow

The truth hits hard when it needs to

And loneliness is never see through

When they arrive they like to hang around

Because of You

I don’t know that I will ever

Be strong enough for this endeavor

It’s not that I’m scared

I’m just petrified

I know you and have forever

Still I’m slowly trying to sever

These so called “loving for the sake of” ties

Because of you

I will never, ever love the same

Because of you

Everything I wanted has to change

I may never survive my doubts

And I may miss you every then and now

But I will learn to live my life anew

Because of you

No more standing in your shadow

No more staring out the window

Is it better never to have loved at all

Salty drops upon my cheekbone

Many thoughts of how to get on

When the gates drop am 8 gonna stall?

Because of you

I will never, ever love the same

Because of you

Everything I wanted has to change

I may never survive my doubts

And I may miss you every then and now

But I will learn to live my life anew

Because of you
