Because Of You
McCann Lila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One look in your eyes
Went and proved me wrong
I find myself speechless
This feeling of completeness
Is so strong
And I was convinced that my heart had reached its limit
Until you created this new place in it
[Chorus]
Your touch wraps around me
In love it knows no boundaries now
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
You're the answer I've been needing
Life has a whole new meaning now
All because of you
Everything's different
There's no frame of reference
For the way I feel
To look at your face
I'm still amazed
I can't believe you're sleep
Hanging on every breath that you breathe
[Chorus: x2]
All because of you
