Because of You
You're the only one
Who didn't ask me for anything
The only one who never questioned
You're the only one
Who chose me
Over everything
Just because… it was me
Time and again I pushed you away
Time and again I cursed your name
I was disgusted with myself
But maybe only because
I used you
Used your love
I used to believe in it
Love
Hope
Loyalty
I depended on these things
I took them for granted
Now I've got so little left
My family, my friends, my home
My hope, my trust, my strength
All gone
But you were there
The only one to follow
Without question, without a second thought
You believed in me
You still know me better, it seems
Then I know myself
I was so tired, so broken
You held me while I slept
I had never felt your arms
In such a simple embrace
In everything we've ever done
I know your body like my own
But I've never simply slept beside you
Thank you
When you wake up, I'll be gone
But it's different this time
I've gone to do what I have to do
What you knew I would do
I still feel so lonely
There are still tears to cry
But I've got you
And I will be strong
That's what you've given me
Your love, and trust, and courage
But what I needed the most
You've found for me
You've given me my strength back
I will do what I was chosen for
And I won't run anymore
I'm better than that
Because of you
You're the only one
Who didn't ask me for anything
The only one who never questioned
You're the only one
Who chose me
Over everything
Just because… it was me
Time and again I pushed you away
Time and again I cursed your name
I was disgusted with myself
But maybe only because
