Song Lyrics

Do I seem different?
Do I seem strange?
A shorter temper’ment
From yesterdays
Do you know me now?
Hey, what’s my name?
Am I rude; too loud
Just not the same

It’s because
You molded me this way
My heart was un-sculpted clay
Able to be a priceless work of art;
Instead hardened; cracked;
Now bound to fall apart
You seem not to know
And wonder why it’s so
It’s because – because of you
You’re the cause – yes, it’s true
I’ve become just like you
Oh, because – because of you

You hurt me with your words
You hurt with lies
It would be absurd
To pay no mind
I’ve learned not to care;
Learned to let go
Feelings in me rare
Have won my soul

It’s because
You molded me this way
My heart was un-sculpted clay
Able to be a priceless work of art;
Instead hardened; cracked;
Now bound to fall apart
You seem not to know
And wonder why it’s so
It’s because – because of you
You’re the cause – yes, it’s true
I’ve become just like you
Oh, because – because of you
(Instrumental)

It’s because of you
You’re the cause it’s true

If you leave me now
In search of neutral ground
Keep in mind what you created
You deceived me
Now I’m jaded

It’s because of you
You’re the cause, yes, it’s true
I’ve become just like you
All because, because of you
It’s because of you
You’re the cause, yes, it’s true
I’ve become just like you
All because, because of you
