Because of Her

Because of her

Am I afraid to like it

Am I just hiding all that I know

Because of her

Am I walking on broken

Pieces of my soul just cutting my toes

Because of her

I walk the wrong way

I take the long way wherever I go

To avoid the people

Feeling so unequal

In the simple act of saying hello

She's possessive, aggressive, invested in all that I wanna do

She's a crier, a liar, a trier in all that I hide from you

And I don't wanna feel it

And I don't wanna steal it

She's the only one that sticks around when you say we're through

Because of her

You didn't like it

You wouldn't stand beside me in this broken home

Because of her

I remember all you said

I replay it in my head when I'm alone

Because of her

Yeah that makes three of us

You, me and this craziness living in my bones

You didn't ask for this

You didn't sign up to it

But I didn't wanna let you go

She is selfish, and reckless and messes with all that I wanna do

She is hurting and learning and burning through all that I hide from you

And I don't wanna feel it

And I don't want her to steal it

She's the only one that sticks around when you say we're through

Because of her

Her weight on my shoulders

It's always getting colder from the inside

Because of her

Will I ever have it

Is there some kind of magic in this peace I can't find
