Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's all because, yeah
[Verse 2]
I waited for so long
You showed me you were the one
I gave ya my heart
Right from the very start, so
Every time you lied, I knew inside
Get another chance
I was hurting, I was broken
I stayed too long and so that's why
You didn't think that I'd move on
[Verse 3]
(It's all because) I love ya
(Because) I held ya
(Because) I believed ya
But you're not what I needed
(Because) I'm stronger
(Because) I'm better
(Because) And without you
[Verse 4]
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
Because
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
Because, I loved ya
[Verse 5]
(Because) I loved ya
(Because) I loved ya
[Verse 6]
You gave me just one thing
But taken from the beginning
You left me a heartache
How much more could I take
With every alibi that made me cry
I'd still give you more
I should've given up
When I'd had enough
But I stayed too long, that's why
You didn't think that I'd move on
[Verse 7]
It's all because, I loved ya
(Because) I held ya
(Because) I believed ya
But you're not what I needed
(Because) I'm stronger
(Because) I'm better
(Because) I'm without you
[Verse 8]
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
Because
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
Because I loved ya
[Verse 9]
(Because) I loved ya
(Because) I loved ya
[Verse 10]
I made a mistake of giving me to you
I made a mistake of loving you
I made a mistake of giving me to you
I made a mistake of loving you
I made a mistake of giving me to you
I made a mistake of loving you
I made a mistake of giving me to you
I made a mistake
[Verse 11]
It's all because (I loved ya)
(Because) I held ya
(Because) I believed ya
(You're not what I needed)
(Because) I'm stronger
(Because) I'm better
(Because) And without you
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
[Verse 12]
Because
(I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, because)
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
Because
(I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, because)
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
Because
(I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, because)
(You thought I'd be in pieces)
Because
(I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, because)
I loved ya
[Verse 13]
(Because) I loved ya
(Because) I loved ya
(Because) yeah
(Because) I loved ya
