Because
The only reason for it is just because
The way she acts is because of what he does
What he does is because of who he loves
Who he loves is because of who he was
Who he was wasn't who he wanted to be.
Free, free is who he wanted to be
She is not free because she is bound by what she knows to be true
The words because I love you.
Doing things she didnt want to do
Because I love you
Horrible words on their cracked, crooked wings flew
Because I love you
Baseless claims made too
Because I love you
Just when she thought she was through
Because I love you.
The way she loves is just because
The way she was taught this lifelong burden;
Through troubles and trials,
Heartbreaks and denials,
Self hate and seldom love,
Masquerading lust and decaying doves,
Terrible highs and gut wrenching lows,
Shattered homes and self deprecating blows,
This is the lesson she knows
Because i love you.
