[VERSE 1]
|
Before you it's been awhile before I slipped up
|
Before you I never thought to give up
|
Before you I was satisfied on my own
|
Before you I never let myself go
|
Before this I was always on the wrong side
|
Before this I was always bad at
|
hanging onto pride
|
But before this I was professional
|
about how to hide
|
What was goin on on the inside
|
|
And before you I was so content
|
Yeah before you I was unaware of it
|
I was unaware, of my loneliness
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
Now because of you
|
I remember why I have no self respect
|
Because of you
|
I remember why I always felt hopeless
|
I remember why
|
My perception of love was demented
|
I remember why I'm such a mess
|
Why I'm such a mess
|
Because of you
|
I remember why I was satisfied with lust
|
Because of you
|
I remember why I will never truly trust
|
Before you there were more yous and I know now why I will never expect much
|
Thought I forgot, but thanks a lot
|
Cause now because of you
|
I remember why I don't love
|
I remember why I don't love
|
|
[VERSE 2]
|
Before you I had control of this
|
Before you I never let my heart win
|
Before you I was on my way to freedom
|
Before you I never let myself give in
|
To the disappointment of unrequited love
|
To the mislead illusion of mutual trust
|
I was unaware, of how bad love was
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
[BRIDGE]
|
When somebody walks away
|
And you feel replaced
|
Left with your own embrace
|
A part of you gives up hope
|
Once you let it go
|
You never wanna go, back again
|
I look at you and I see him
|
All over again
|
|
[FINAL CHORUS]
|
And because of him
|
I lost all my self respect
|
Because of him
|
I was always left hopeless
|
Because of him
|
My perception of love is demented
|
I remember why I'm such a mess
|
Why I'm such a mess
|
And because of you
|
I remember why I'm satisfied with lust
|
Because of you
|
I remember why I will never truly trust
|
Before you there were more yous and
|
I know now why I will never expect much
|
I thought I forgot, but thanks a lot
|
Cause now because of you
|
I remember why I don't love
|
I remember why I don't love
|
