Just Because

[Verse 1]
Years passing, I used to be happy
I used to love rock and roll
Used to think I could care about you
Guess time takes its toll

[Refrain]
Sleep talking, speed walking
A drink, please, before the show
You play pretend, you're playing for nothing
Turned on by remote control

[Verse 2]
Through smoke and mirrors
You're compelled to want me
Time and time again
I used to believe in something
But now this means has no end

[Chorus]
I tell you what you want to hear
Swallow words that have no meaning
Whisper nothings in your ear
Just so I can keep you
I tell you what you want to hear
Eat my lies, come feed this passion
Take my hand, exploit your fears
Just because I love you dear

[Bridge]
They'll tell you
"Pack your hopes and hit the stage"
Before your passion slips away
Well, let me be a breathless whisper
Hanging on your ear
I've got no reasoning to obey
And so many things I just need to say
I'll chain down all your long arms
That reach across the sky
Let me fix all of you
Before you reach too high

[Chorus]
I tell you what you want to hear
Swallow words that have no meaning
Whisper nothings in your ear
Just so I can keep you
I tell you what you want to hear
Eat my lies, come feed this passion
Take my hand, exploit your fears
Just because I love you dear
I tell you what you want to hear
Swallow words that have no meaning
Whisper nothings in your ear
Just so I can keep you
I tell you what you want to hear
Eat my lies, come feed this passion
Take my hand, exploit your fears
Just because I love you dear

[Outro]
Just because I love you dear
Just because I love you dear
Just because I love you dear
Just because I love you dear
Just because I love you dear
