Before you It's been awhile before I slipped up Before you I never thought to give a fuck 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 Apart 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 again And 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
