Because I love you.


Because I love you, 

I push other people away.

Because I love you, 

I could never make you stay.

Because I love you, 

I tried to see the love in someone else's eyes.

Because I love you, 

I failed and that love died.

Because I love you,

I try so hard to make you see

You are in every single part of me.

Because I love you,

I'll try to keep you near.

Because I love you,

I'll try to hold you dear. 

Because I love you, 

I pushed myself too far.

Because I love you,

Everything goes dark.

Because I love you, 

I realized I tried too hard.

Because I love you,

I'll let you go.

Because you love me,

You tried to make me see 

There are more valuable people out there for me.

Because I love you and you love me, 

We will say goodbye 

and let all of this love die.
