Because


Because

 

Because I love you, and you I

I shouldn’t have to worry about another guy

Because I love you, and you I

I shouldn’t have to worry about him stopping by

Because I love you, and you I

I shouldn’t be up wondering why

Because I love you, and you I

I should be able to look you in the eye

Because I love you, and you I

I shouldn’t feel like I want to cry

Because I love you, and you I

I shouldn’t be feeling like I want to die

But because I loved you, and thought you loved me

You tore me apart and took that love away from me

But because I loved you, and thought you loved me

I closed everyone out, “STAY AWAY” I’d plea

But because I loved you, and thought you loved me

I thought one day I’d be on one knee

But because I loved you, and thought you loved me

You took those dreams away from me

But because I loved you, and thought you loved me

Forever now, I am now finally free
