It's all because, 
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, 
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

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
