#BecauseILoveYou

Because I loved you I put you first.

Because I loved you I always took your word.

Because I loved you I ignored the truth.

Because I loved you I overlooked what I heard.

 

Because I loved you I let you make a fool out of me.

All I ever wanted was for you to change for me.

 

Because I loved you I let you curse at me.

Because I loved you I even let you scream at me.

Because I loved you, you didn't care it was your fault.

Because I loved you, you just wanted to tear my heart.

 

Because I loved you I always stayed there.

You knew this and it really wasn't fair.

 

You cheated.

You lied.

I was heartbroken.

I cried.

 

Because I loved you I took you back.

Because I loved you where else would I go?

Because I loved you you did it again.

Because I loved you I was sad again.

 

Because I loved you I became strong.

It became clear that you were wrong.

 

Because I loved you I met the love of my life.

Because I loved you I changed my ways.

Because I once loved you I learned to respect myself.

Because I once loved you he shows me what real love is.

 

I never have to worry.

He's always there for me.

He does what is right.

He isn't uptight.

 

I love that I loved you.

You led me to him.

This love is quite different

I feel like a princess.

 

He always calls and everyday I fall.

No lies.

Just sweet words.

I'm so glad I left.

 

No more settling.

No more crying.

Just time to smile.

 

Because he loves me I can now be my own.

Because he love me life is different.

I don't need a man, but now I know

what a gentleman truly is.
