"Because of You"
I am not who I used to be.
I don’t act the way that I used too.
My smile isn’t the same as before.
It was brighter, it was sweeter, and there was love in it.
Not my smile seems fake,
Forced.
Not as real as before.
How can I put the pieces back together?
How can I make my smile bright again?
The way that it used to be?
When can I feel like me again?
Why do I blame me for you?
Why can’t I forgive me because of you?
Why can’t I be happy? It’s…
Because of you…
