Because I love you...
Because I love you
I've somehow seemed to forget to love myself
Placed all devoted enery of being a better me
To lie like an overlooked book on a crowded shelf
My needs come second while yours take the place of first
The excuses I've made do nothing but seem to eat away at my worth.
These habits I've aqcuired of letting you do me any kind of way
Like say you love me but have your actions deviate from what you say
Feeling used and abused but ultimately confused each and everyday
But because I love you I let you be the pilot to my tail spinning plane
I look for something I thought I used to have
But its clear to see we reached a fork in the road and you've chose your path
Because I love you
I realize I have to love myself as much
Because loving you more is unhealthy and puts me in a rut
I set the standards of the type of love I choose to keep
I can't grow a garden full of beautiful healthy flowers
When the soil is not condusive
Showers of attention and care will aid in my growth
Dedication is time well spent into things we care about
Why hold onto polluted energy when we can just air it out
Honestly trust the process and be rewilling to plant
We are like gardens growing an abundance of flowers
Because I love you
I won't give away all my power
