BECAUSE OF YOU
ToxicRose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was lost in a hopeless place
Everyday was turning dark
I saw myself fall apart
I numbed myself to run away from it
Lying on the floor like waste
Nothing left but years of shame

I've been searching for someone
I've been waiting for you
And now I know what it feels to be alive
And it's all

Because of you, because of you
I finally found a reason to survive
A ray of hope that lights the night
Because of you, because of you
I've managed to fight off the dark inside
There's no more need to hide
With you I feel alive

Who am I, but a broken kid
All but memories
Are left to waste away
But when you came to save me
I didn't know that I could belong
To someone close to me forever

I've been searching for someone
I've been waiting for you
And now I know what it feels to be alive
And it's all

Because of you, because of you
I finally found a reason to survive
A ray of hope that lights the night
Because of you, because of you




I've managed to fight off the dark inside
There's no more need to hide anymore
