Because of You
Last Memorial Day Lyrics

When betrayal's the only way!
The only option left when someone has betrayed you.

How does it feel to sell your soul
Asking the betrayer how it feels to betray someone for their personal gain.

For thirty pieces of fucking silver?
A reference to the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot for thirty pieces of silver.

How does it feel to burn my heart?
Asking the betrayer how it feels to cause emotional pain.

It must be like the best feeling ever
Sarcastic remark about the joy betrayers may feel from causing harm.

You know I've heard when you do evil
Commenting on the common saying that doing evil will harm your soul.

Your soul breaks from piece to piece
Explaining the idea that evil actions can harm a person's soul in a literal way.

I can't be sure, but yours might be then
Suggesting that the betrayer's soul may have been severely damaged by their actions.

Split into million fucking cracks
Hyperbolic way of expressing the extent of the harm done to the betrayer's soul.

It's over now - I've given up
Acknowledging that the relationship is over because of the betrayer's actions.

There's nothing to hold on because of you
Blaming the betrayer for destroying the hope of a continued relationship.

All hope is gone
Feeling of hopelessness and despair due to the betrayal.

I'm lost and I'm broken because of you
Expressing the emotional pain and damage caused by the betrayer's actions.

Why?
Asking the betrayer a rhetorical question about why they hurt the singer.

Why did I let myself to be so fucking blind?
Ruminating on the singer's own naivete and trust in the betrayer.

Tell me - why did I trust you for all this fucking time?
Questioning the betrayer's motivations for betraying the artist despite their trust in them.

Say anything! I know you remember
Challenging the betrayer to be honest about their memories of the relationship.

All awful things we both went through
Recalling the shared struggles in the relationship, despite the final betrayal.

It's hard to accept the fact of surrender
Struggling with coming to terms with the loss of the relationship and the need to let go.

I will never find another you
Realizing that the experience of loving the betrayer was unique and irreplaceable.

It's over now - the fall has come
Acknowledging that the relationship has ended and everything has come crashing down.

The part of me just died... That part was... You...
Realizing that a large part of the artist's life and self was tied up in the relationship, and now that part has died with it.

How does it feel? to sell your soul?
Reiterating the question to the betrayer as a way to emphasize the gravity of their actions.

It's over now
Final acceptance that the relationship is truly over and cannot be salvaged.

How does it feel? to burn my heart?
Reiterating the question to the betrayer as a way to express the lingering pain caused by their actions.
