Because Of You Lyrics

i can stand here and do this again i can say
it but where to begin i know that i'm caving in
because i'm heavy i'm heavy so the wonder
of you is done i'm tired and bloody and good
to be gone i know that you did me wrong 'cause
i'm ready i'm ready as for the part about having
something more let's not pretend it's like it was
before i wish i could say that it's not because of
you but it's because of you i've a dark and
snowy remembrance of this but remind me again
of what i'm gonna miss when all you do is let me
down you better tell me something and tell it to
me now as for the part about having something
more let's not pretend it's like it was before i wish
i could say that it's not because of you but it's
because of you and are you sorry as for the
part about having something more let's not
pretend it's like it was before i wish i could say
that it's not because of you but it's all because
of you it's all because of you and light went
black and i got scared

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can stand here and do this again I can say it, but where to begin? I know that I'm caving in

Because I'm heavy I'm heavy

So the wonder of you is done I'm tired, and bloody, and good to be gone I know that you did me wrong

'Cause I'm ready I'm ready

As for the part about having something more Let's not pretend that it's like it was before And I wish I could say that it's not because of you But it's because of you

I've a dark and snowy remembrance of this But remind me again of what I'm gonna miss When all you do is let me down You'd better tell me something and tell it to me now

As for the part about having something more Let's not pretend it's like it was before And I wish I could say that it's not because of you But it's because of you

And are you sorry?

As for the part about having something more Let's not pretend that it's like it was before I wish I could say that it's not because of you But it's all because of you And it's all because of you

And light went black And I got scared

This will be easier.

First of all, whoever put this song here, it's very difficult to read.
