about

Some songs you want to write.
Some songs you need to write.

Rarely are songs written about indifferent relationships. Rather it’s the relationships that so deeply move you, that you need to write about them - to celebrate them or try to understand them. And so here is … “Because of Me”.

- RBT

lyrics

You always seem to blur the line
Of what is hers and what is mine
I trust your lips, but not your eyes
And all the signs that tell me otherwise

In the dark I can’t undo
the talk that leads us right into
the words that feed a quiet flame
and you are not the same
because of me, because of me

And I know, you know
I don’t wanna let you go
And I know, you know
I can’t wait forever
Cause she ain’t never gonna let you go

You might say you understand
but there’s no way you really can
You bare your soul and then you leave
and tell me you can’t stay
because of me, because of me

All this time that I keep bending
I walk a line that has no ending
and you can say what you believe
But you keep coming back
because of me, because of me

Chorus

Every time you come
you change, you change
Every time you go
you change, you change

Chorus

Because of me
Because of me
