BECAUSE OF YOU
Will I make the same mistakes that you made
Will I cause my heart so much misery
Robin hated him. So damn much.
Will I break the way you did, fall so hard that I learn the hard way
Will I ever let it get that far
Why couldn't she have just grown up like any other little girl? Why couldn't he just accept who she was, what she was?
Because of you I've learned to never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I have learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
It was hard. She never really explained it in full detail to her friends, because it hurt to even think about it. When she was fourteen, he just basically gave her to her mom, without a second thought. Just tossed her out, because she wasn't exactly what he wanted her to be. [CENSORED].
Because of you I have found it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you I have found I am afraid
He hurt her. He hurt her to the point of not trusting anyone, even her best friends in the world. He hurt her to the point of telling him he could't come to her wedding; she was never invited to his. He hurt her so much... she didn't care whether or not he was proud of her anymore. He hurt her so much, he even pretended for the past twenty years that she was in a coma.
I lose my way and it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry because I know that's weakness in your eyes
She remembered all the times that she was about to cry when she was so little. Did he care? No. He yelled at her to never cry, because it was weak, because it was for little girls. She was a little boy, and that's how she was raised. And she hates how, even now, he points out how worthless she is to the world. And he treats her like a little [CENSORED]. Because that's what she really is, in his eyes.
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even whole to start with
He had always told her to stand up straight, to look proud of herself, even if there was nothing to be proud of. To smile at him when he smiled, to laugh when he laughed. But everything she did around him was false, fake. Because she wasn't truely herself to begin with.
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Why did he suddenly come up here to New York and pretend like he cared? What did it matter to him if his son-I mean daugher, got married? Who was he, to judge the love of her life? He told Barney to shoot a goddamn rabbit for God's sake, to dye his hair, to not marry her. And yet he had never been apart of her life in the past.
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you I am afraid
She just hated him.
I watched you die I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young you should have known better than to lean on me
He had told her problems with everything when she was little, because he has no friends to confide in. Like she could help, or something. She was just eight years old.
You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing
He made her feel like nothing, nothing. And she believed it, most of her life. When she had no one, you know? Because she never trusted Ted, Marshall, or even Lily with these secrets. And Barney... at that time, he had just broken up with her, was banging every chick in town, and fell in love with Nora. To him too, she still felt like nothing. At least it was diffirent now. She felt loved, she felt happy with her life, but Robin Scherbatshy Sr. was something she couldn't forgive, nor forget.
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Nothing really hurt her in her life more than his idiodic ideas of treating her like a son.
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in
She wished she could forget. Every once in a while, she really just wanted to shoot his brains out. But then she remembered that he was the one who taught her to shoot. Damnit.
Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you...
