"Because I Love You"
Him:
I pray to wake up next to you
Because I love you
I smile at the thought of your beautiful self
Because I love you.
And because I love you
I protect you
I tell you to stop talking to him, yet you don't listen
And when you talk to him, I hurt him,
But I do it
Because I love you.
I know what he is capable of
Yet, when you don't listen, I punish you,
But it's only because I love you.
It hurts me to see you in pain,
But I promise, I still love you.
(Her):
I remember the joy we once had
The times when I never felt fear
You helped me
The times I fell, you stood by my side
And you helped me pick myself up
Where did that happy soul go?
The one that supported me
The one that saved me from falling
It was as if you were sent to me.
As if you were meant to be my 'one and only'
Now, you're gone.
Since when did hurting me mean 'love'?
After all those insults that shot right at my insecurities
You still claimed to 'love' me.
Watching every move I make
And hurting me when I returned to you.
With every hit you made
All I kept thinking was
"It's only because I love you"
But where did the love go?
It's gone.
