Better Because Of You
All my feelings cooped up inside
Made nothing of my but wanting to hide.
How did you know that part of me?
I guess it isn't that hard to see.
But why would you give me away,
So that they could laugh and make names?
Didn't you once think what you had done,
What you have made me become.
Well I guess not, since you made a fool out of me.
I hope you know what you've caused me.
All I've ever wanted to know
Was how to love and how to say no.
But since you've taken that away
I have nothing left of me.
A part of me has been torn out.
The other half is filled with doubt.
But why would you give me away,
So they could laugh and make names?
Didn't you once think what you had done,
What you've made me become?
All I've ever wanted to know
Was how to love and how to say no.
But since you've taken that away
I guess there's nothing left to me.
And to this day I will hide.
Hoping for a different lie to take me off this crazy ride.
But since I hide all alone
All I can wish is for my heart to be sown.
So I can learn to love,
And how to say no.
If there were to come a day,
If I could find the words to say,
I'd thank you for what you had done.
And what you've helped me become.
All my feelings roaming free
I can show what I've wanted to be.
Its always been apart of me.
But now I know what it means.
so all I have left to do,
Is thank you.
