Because Of You

So many broken dreams I held so tight
Winding paths led me through endless night
Chasing shadows hoping love would ignite
But all I found was a fading light

I carved my heart like stone to keep pace
Wore a smile though I’d lost the race
Every promise was a thread out of place
Yet I followed blindly just to see your face

Because of you my world turned grey
Because of you I threw my map away
You built me up but left me to fray
Because of you I'm lost today

Because of you
Because of you
(Because of you)
(Because of you)

The mirrors shattered with each breath I gave
I sought your embrace like a reckless wave
But your love became my quiet grave
A prisoner bound though I tried to be brave

Now the wind whispers truths I won’t deny
Broken dreams take flight in the open sky
Through the scars I’ve learned to say goodbye
The world’s not as dark when you don’t comply

Because of you
Because of you my world turned grey
Because of you I threw my map away
You built me up but left me to fray
Because of you I'm lost today

Because of you
Because of you
(Because of you)
(Because of you)
