Because of You
Driven Astray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've fallen down again
And it's all because of you
You let me down again

I've fallen down

I can see I've faded out
And life is passing by
And I can see that
Maybe you're the reason why

My time is quickly running out
And I can't pick myself up off the ground
You're takin' over
I've fallen down

I've fallen down again
And it's all because of you
You let me down again
I'm fighting to get through
But I'm restrained
And you're the one to blame
I've fallen down again
And it's all because of you

Finally I recognize
The blood that's on your hands
Now it seems, I've made the same mistake again
My time is quickly running out now
I must pick myself up off the ground
It's now or never
I won't stay down

I've fallen down again
And it's all because of you
You let me down again
I'm fighting to get through
But I'm restrained
And you're the one to blame
I've fallen down again
And it's all because of you

It's all because of you

I've fallen down again
And it's all because of you
You let me down again
I'm fighting to get through
I'm not the same
And you're the one to blame
I've fallen down again
And it's all because of you

It's all because of you




It's all becuase of you
It's all because of you
