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 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 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
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 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 againAnd 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
