Because

Because I held you too tight

Because you chose flight

Because five hundred miles

'Cause we are walking single file

Ble-ee-eed ou-ou-ou-ou-out

All over me

Blee-ee-eed ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-out

All of me

All of me

Because you could not be kind

Because 'til I lost you, you'd never be mine

Because I held you too tight

Because the night

Ble-ee-eed ou-ou-ou-ou-out

All over me

Ble-ee-eed ou-ou-ou-ou-out

All of me

All of me

Because the apple is born of the tree

And when it falls it's bruised irrevocably

And those soft spots that make it a little more sweet

There's only so much sweetness that one can eat

And money, stress, sex, work, and school,

Chemical balance, genetic pool

Constructed caucation, imagination,

'Bout how relationships should be fought and won

Ble-ee-eed ou-ou-ou-ou-out

All over me

Ble-ee-eed ou-ou-ou-ou-out

All of me

All of me

Ble-ee-eed ou-ou-ou-ou-out

All over

All over me

As you leave

As you leave
