Story behind the song
We all feel the blues when we discover the one we love is untrue, it happens all the time. Love hurts, but we can't live without it.
Lyrics
BECAUSE OF YOU
(Voc. Kara Johnstad, Words and Music: Evan Paul Kozaris, Piano: Doug Wright)
I got your letter today,
Explaining the reason, why you couldn't stay,
Telling me you fell in love, with someone new,
My world just came to an end,
Your very existence, just a pretend,
How could I fall for this, with someone like you.
Wish I had known all of this, from the start,
Left myself open, to a broken heart,
My bright, sunshine colours, fading to blue....
Because of You, all Because of You,
Wish I had known from the start,
But I'm just a fool, who follows her heart,
What my friends told me I know, now to be true,
They said they have seen you around,
Holding the hand of a new love you've found,
Didn't believe it at first, but know now it's true.
So here once again, someone has passed me by,
How do I get, rid of this knot I feel inside,
Feeling so helpless and sorry for myself, it's not me......
What am I, what am I to do.
Solo
I sit down, watch some sitcomes on TV
Channel to Channel, I search for comedy,
But it doesn't help me when nothing seems funny to me....
All Because of You, Because of You.
Now the sun maybe shining today,
But I look outside, and I just see grey,
The reason I know is all Because of You,
Seems I've been living a lie,
But now for me, there's no place to hide,
All I can feel is the pain, and hurtin' inside,
Wish I had known all of this, from the start
Never would have left myself open to a broken heart,
My bright sunshine colours fading to blue......
Because of You, all Because of You..
What am I to do? Tell me, tell me,what am I to do?
I feel so blue, Because of You,
Add lib.
