Because Of You

Dedicated to my father.

Because of you, I learned to never believe that love was true
Because of you, I learned to walk away and look for someone new
Because of you, I learned to cheat, lie and deceive
Because of you, I learned to never let them see you cry when they leave.

Because of you, I can never give away my heart
Because of you, I must always hold something of myself apart
Because of you, no one ever earns my total trust
Because of you, my dreams of happiness all turned to dust.

Because of you, I'm still a lost and lonely child,
Because of you, there's a tear behind each smile
Because of you, and the example you left for me to follow
Too much of my life has been sad, lonely and hollow.
