Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because of you I've done things that I never thought of doing
I let my soul to taste the pain
I put myself against the grain
Because of you I don't allow the night
To fill my sky to darken my view
Because of you I lean towards the light
You watch and learn never complain about mistakes I'm making
Your trusting eyes burn on my skin inside my heart is weeping
I miss the years of disarray but I'm afraid of yesterday
Because of you I don't allow the night
To fill my sky to darken my view
Because of you I lean towards the light
Because of you I have something to lose

At a point in my life, which in I had given up- I met the one. Few years later this album/song came out and boy, what a good description of how I felt. Perhaps not meant as positive as how I experience it, but thats what music is for :)
