Because of You



Because of you I fall,
Deep into your arms.
Wanting you to show me all,
I can't resist your charms.

Because of you I wish,
For your love to never end.
Desperately longing for your kiss,
You know I can't pretend.

Because of you I cry,
You're so very far away.
No matter how hard I try,
These tears are here to stay.

Because of you I'm lost,
I never knew what I would do.
For love at any cost,
My heart needs to feel you.

Because of you I love,
I die inside,
I silently pray,
I hope,
I live,
I'm happy,
I'm whole,
I'm me.
