"Because Of You" lyrics

These jagged little pieces

I've seen it in your eyes a million times
Trying not to break when you tell me you're okay
Tell me you're okay
I wish I had more time to make amends
But there's a great divide between our hearts today

So tired of walking on glass because of me

These jagged little pieces scattered on the floor
Are tearing at my demons like a hammer through the wall
And it hurts 'cause it's all overdue, baby, I
These jagged little pieces because of you

Remember way back then? We were kids
You showed me how to give, never thought we'd die to live
Never thought we'd die to live
I wish you'd close your eyes, believe in me
I'd be a better man, and I won't tie up your hands

So tired of walking on glass because of me
Can't deny when I see those cuts under your feet

These jagged little pieces scattered on the floor
Are tearing at my demons like a hammer through the wall
And it hurts 'cause it's all overdue, baby, I
These jagged little pieces because of you
Because of you

Take a breath and, baby, breathe it out
I'm to blame and I see that now
I'm sorry, so sorry
Don't leave me hanging
Take a breath and, baby, breathe it out
I'm to blame and I see that now
I'm sorry, so sorry
Don't leave me hanging

These jagged little pieces scattered on the floor
Are tearing at my demons like a hammer through the wall
And it hurts 'cause it's all overdue, baby I
These jagged little pieces because of you
Because of you
