Because
Mauboy Jessica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I waited for so long, you showed me you were the one,
I gave you my heart, right from the very start so,
Every time you lied, I knew inside,
Get another chance, I was hurting, I was broken
I stayed to long and so that's why, you didn't think that I'd move on,
It's all because, I loved you, (because) I held you, (because) I believed you,
(Because) I'm better, (because) without you, you'd thought I'd be in pieces,
Because (you thought I'd be in pieces), because, I loved ya, (because) I loved ya, (because) I loved ya
You gave me, just one thing, but taking from the beginning
You left me, a heart ache, how much more could I take,
With every alibi, that made me cry, I'd still gave you more,
I should've given up, when I had had enough,
But I stayed to long, that's why, you didn't think that I'd move on,
It's all because, I loved you, (because) I held you, (because) I believed you,
You're not what I needed, (because) I'm stronger,
(Because) I'm better, (because) without you, you'd thought I'd be in pieces,
Because (you thought I'd be in pieces), because, I loved ya, (because) I loved ya, (because) I loved ya
I made a mistake of giving me to you,
I made a mistake of loving you
I made a mistake of loving you
I made a mistake of loving you
I made a mistake of loving you
It's all because, I loved you, (because) I held you, (because) I believed you,
You're not what I needed, (because) I'm stronger,
(Because) I'm better, (because) without you, you'd thought I'd be in pieces,
Because (you thought I'd be in pieces), because, I loved ya, (because) I loved ya, (because) I loved ya
The lyrics of Mauboy Jessica's song "Because" tell the story of a woman who gave her heart to a man who repeatedly lied to her. Despite knowing deep down that she deserved better, she stayed with him for too long, only to finally realize that he wasn't what she needed. She learned that she was stronger and better off without him, and that his betrayal was a mistake she made because she loved him. This song is about empowerment, and the journey of a woman discovering her self-worth and the strength to move on from a toxic relationship.

It's all because,
The reason for everything that happened
I waited for so long, you showed me you were the one,
I patiently waited for you and you proved to be the one for me
I gave you my heart, right from the very start so,
I trusted you completely from the beginning
Every time you lied, I knew inside,
I could always sense when you were lying
Get another chance, I was hurting, I was broken
Even after giving you another chance, I was still hurt and broken
I stayed too long and so that's why, you didn't think that I'd move on,
I stayed with you for too long and you didn't think I was capable of moving on
You gave me, just one thing, but taking from the beginning
You only gave me one thing, but took so much from me in the beginning
You left me, a heartache, how much more could I take,
You caused me so much heartache and pain, and I couldn't take it much longer
With every alibi, that made me cry, I'd still give you more,
Even when you made excuses that made me cry, I still gave you more chances
I should've given up, when I had had enough,
I should have given up on you when I had reached my limit
I made a mistake of giving me to you,
I regret giving myself to you
I made a mistake of loving you
I made a mistake by loving you
It's all because, I loved you, (because) I held you, (because) I believed you,
Everything happened because I loved you, held onto you, and believed in you
You're not what I needed, (because) I'm stronger,
You were not what I needed because I am stronger than I thought
(Because) I'm better, (because) without you, you'd thought I'd be in pieces,
I am better off without you, even though you thought I would be broken without you
Because (you thought I'd be in pieces), because, I loved ya, (because) I loved ya, (because) I loved ya
You thought I would be broken without you, but I loved you in spite of everything
