Hashim - Because of You

Drove up on my old life

Wish I could hold my own wife

Just to be forgiven

Gotta do something different

Yeah I gotta make my wrongs right


That's why I wrote this song right?

Let bygones be gone right?

You control your own life

Let me carry on with mine

Trying not to lose my mind



Don't Tell me that

I have to make it work

When you know all we do

Is make it hurt


Not blaming you

For playing with my heart

But it was me who was

Playing from the start



Because of you

Yeah Yeah Yeah I control my own life

I control my own life

I control my own life

Yes I love you

Yeah Yeah but I chose to live alone right


Don't Tell me that

I have to make it work

When you know all we do

Is make it hurt

Not blaming you for

Playing with my heart

But I knew you were playing

From the start


And you don't have to tell 'em that it's over

I think that it's Karma from the past life

And you don't wanna let them know I let you go

But I let you go before we broke it off


I used the pain to change me

Not Blaming you but shame on me


Because of you

Yeah Yeah Yeah I control my own life

I control my own life

I control my own life

Yes I love you

Yeah Yeah but I chose to live alone right


Mask off

As I explore my inner space

Heaven Bound

At the rate of a sinner's pace


No need to medicate

No I just mediate

I watched you demonstrate

With the devil's advocate


Karma will get you

Oh now you're a victim?

Before it was me

Click, now you get the picture?


Who's the new mister?

And now you're a mistress?

God is my witness

Now how do we fix this?


I told you that I loved you like no other

We even had the backing of your mother

Ignored the vows and the love that we summoned

But I saw it coming, yeah I saw it coming


Because of you

Yeah Yeah Yeah I control my own life

I control my own life

I control my own life

Yes I love you

Yeah Yeah but I chose to live alone right


Don't Tell me that

I have to make it work

(Make it work)

When you know all we do

Is make it hurt

(Make it hurt)

Not blaming you for

Playing with my heart

But I knew you were playing

From the start


And you don't have to tell 'em that it's over

I think that it's Karma from the past life

And you don't wanna let them know I let you go

But I let you go before we broke it off


I used the pain to change me

Not Blaming you but shame on me


Because of you

Yeah Yeah Yeah I control my own life

I control my own life

I control my own life

Yes I love you

Yeah Yeah but I chose to live alone right
