Because Of You

You held me close.
You promised that you cared.

I told you feelings I've never told,
Feelings I thought we shared.

I thought you wanted me for me,
But now I know it was fake.

You've stripped me of my happiness,
Sat back while my heart breaks.

I thought you were honest,
and I thought you were true.

Now all I have is a heartache,
and it's because of you.

You couldn't believe how much I've cried
Because of what you've done.

I thought you were perfect.
You made me believe you were the one.

So now I'm sitting here with nothing,
only tears remain.

Holding my head in my hands,
thinking of the pain.

Maybe it was me.
Maybe I'm the one to blame

But you've still made me hurt,
still made me feel shame.

So if I wasn't good enough,
Sorry for the waste of your precious time.

But if you'd told me sooner,
I wouldn't be writing you this rhyme.

I would not have grown so attached,
or held on oh so tight.

I would not have shared myself with you,
on what seemed like the perfect night.

So remember what you've done and never do it again,
not to any other girl.

So that you save another,
from losing her whole world.
