Because of you...
My heart was broken,
And you left me behind.
Because of you...
I have lost my trust for all of your kind.

Because of you...
My heart feels bitter constantly.
Because of you...
Anger is my captive,
Burning to burst free.

Because of you...
Tears have formed a steady path
Down my cheek.
Because of you...
I feel like a child;
Small, unimportant, and
Oh, so weak.

Because of you...
My dreams are not the same.
Because of you...
My heart aches each time I hear your name.

Because of you...
I felt betrayed
And can now recognize a liar.
Because of you...
I have longed for your touch;
To be held in your arms
Is what my heart truly does desire.

Because of you...
I was led on and made into
A helpless, desperate fool.
Because of you...
I'll move on, be strong,
And find someone new.

But...

Because of ME...
Your eyes will someday betray you
So that they cannot deny the love you have for me.
Then you, the coward, will regret not taking the chance
Of uttering your confession long ago
And setting your soul free.

And I'll look at you and laugh, because,
YOU will be the helpless, desperate fool...
And yes, all because of me.
