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)
