The Anti #BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you, I am in control

The marks I leave behind are black and blue

I know that my love is taking its toll

But know that I suffer, it’s not just you


Because I love you, I hope you believe

That I promise you I’ll change all my ways

All of my love is what you will receive

We will be happy for all of our days


Because I love you, you can’t go away

I promise you it won’t happen again

You cannot leave me, I need you to stay

Please promise me that this is not the end


Because I loved you, they put me away

Because I loved you, you’re now in a grave
