Oh, Because Of You Lana Shraim Oh, because of you, I sacrificed my time, So I can cheer you up on bad days. A smile I may show might signify that I am happy, Even though it does not reach my saddened eyes. As long as you are happy, then so am I. Oh, but then my youth flew by, And no matter how much I try, A single rain drop leaves your eye. I am not getting any younger, Yet here I am, by your side. As long as you are happy, then so am I. Oh, how I wish I could go back in time. Tell you that your problems are not disastrous. Other people have suffered in worse situations. Still now, you think that you are in the dirt. You should be grateful that you are still breathing, Fix your problems, rather than complaining. Try to be more happy in life. As long as you are happy, then so am I. Oh, now, I realize that I gave up my happiness, So that you could be happy. You took the one thing that I needed. I, too, also had my rainy and stormy times. Is this really fate? My everything, can you save? I am now the broken and shattered heart. But as long as you are happy, then I will pretend to be fine. 57
