Because I Love You
I told him I was looking for some empathy,
But he fooled me
He said these words to make me feel “new”
“Because I love you”
I think it’s only fair
There’s going to be pain somewhere
Our love had gone askew
Because I “loved” you
But, I was tired of the charade
He said I should’ve stayed
But it was these words too,
“Because I love you”
I was hesitant at first,
I thought it would be the worst
But, you cared about my feelings
It was my heart you were stealing.
You gave me the best advice
With you, I could suffice
You told the truth,
With you I felt my youth,
And you gave my life some spice.
Now, we laugh in the rain,
For my joy, you are to blame
We talk the night away,
I knew you’d never stray.
You stood by me,
I stood by you.
It was truly meant to be,
Because I love you.
