Because Of You

For 7 hours and 7 days
I tried to tell you in 700 ways
The first to get here was the last to go
We were early for soundcheck but late for the show
Remember those days, remember those nights
We scaled no mountains but we soared to great hights

(chorus)
Because of you, it was all because of you
I lost my house, my car and my diploma too
And it was all because of you

Your papa said it and your mama agreed
You don't get want you want, maybe you get what you need
I saw the merchant safe and sound
He was selling off his stock pound by pound
I tried to hide it with my pomps and pride
But a genie can't grant wishes if he's bottled up inside
