Because. You. Do

You know I try really hard
But nothing ever works out for me...
I am caught in this chain of misfortune
And I just can't seem to break free...

You always tell me, "I know you are winner baby.
There is nothing that you have to prove."
So I guess I can have a little faith in myself,
Because. 
You. 
Do.

I am always plagued by this feeling
of anxiety, fear and sorrow...
A cloud of melancholy and despondency
Wherever I go, it follows...

How your light survives my pessimism maelstrom
I don't even have a clue...
But I guess, for once, I can give hope a chance.
Because. 
You. 
Do.

My constant battle with my demons
It's consumed me and broken my soul...
How can you say I complete you
When by myself, I am not even whole...

Blinded by my own darkness
Only you show me the way through...
And that's exactly why I need to start to believe in myself,
Because. 
You. 
Do.

No matter what I am going through
I want to do good by you...
To always make you feel happy and loved
Even if it's the last thing I do...

I might not be sure about a lot of things in life
But one thing I know is true...
It's okay if the world thinks we don't belong together.
Because. 
You. 
Do.

Most of my life, I wasted
Trapped in the self deprecation bubble...
But you were always there for me
Standing strong through all of my struggle...

So I didn't even put up a fight when we broke up
And you walked away without a simple adieu...
I think it was right for us to part ways
Because.
You. 
Do.

You know how much you meant to me
And how much I meant to you...
Our separation hit me real hard
I can only imagine what you must've felt thereto...

I know I am hurting and in a world of pain
But I hope you get the strength to get through...
Because I know it's not true that you don't care anymore,
I know
Because. 
You. 
Do.

You were the best thing in my wretched life
If only I had realized it in time...
We only get one shot at true love
And now I know, I blew mine...

I am walking this treacherous path of life alone
just scraping by and doing my bid...
And its okay if no one ever loves me again
Because. 
I know. 
You.
Did.
