Because I Love You
Because I love you/
We should both be free/
With respect and trust/
No conditions or fees/
So because I love you/
There are some things I'll say/
To make sure we're both well/
Every day/
When we go shopping/
I won't ask if you're done/
I'll say you can have the last piece/
Because I saved you some/
I'll tell you to watch your step/
And how I love it when you stay/
This reminded me of you/
And I bought you these today/
Go out with friends/
Stay out late tonight/
I can't control you/
But you can control your eyes/
I won't keep nagging/
I'm not a preacher/
But confessing your sins/
Shouldn't feel like public speaking/
We won't break each other down/
Into tiny pieces/
And abuse won't be brushed/
Among the creases/
If you ever decide/
To give me a bruise/
I'll be gone that very night/
You won't be excused/
As a couple/
We can keep each other safe/
But we aren't police/
We'll just leave the hate/
Because I love you/
And you love me/
We'll respect each other/
And that's out creed/
