Because of You


If you have boyfriend problems I don't care

And if you have problems at home I hope you duck and weave

I hope you get to leave like you wanted to and achieve your dreams

Just be the best you can be

I guess now we've become some type of frenemies.

I can't even talk to you cause talking to you is like an interview with a vampire

Your heart is so cold and rotten it's already expired

To think I admired this....child

You told me about these guys who just piled a bunch of issues on you

They did it repeatedly like a record on replay and all they ever did was betray you 

I was a gentleman and you repay me by offerring me a bouquet of knives to chop my heart into pieces

You are the reason for its decay

The reason it no longer obeys

I don't believe in you anymore and you don't know why?

Remember all those nights you left me in my crying?

Writing these words is what keeps me from trying to hit you

What keeps me from wasting my times holding a grudge against you

Keeps me from wasting my life letting you get to me

It's because of you I want to leave and never return

But I suppose I just gotta let it burn

Once your heart learns that I loved it more tan anything

I hope it confirms your the reason I was able to walk away so willingly...
