Because I love you
Because I love you I lost Myself.
I ignored my friends.
I put them on the shelf.
Day and night you left me alone.
Noone could notice.
I would not have shown.
Because I love you I am no longer pure.
It was our secret.
I thought that for sure.
People found out.
You lied to me.
That's when I began to doubt.
I opened up, I let myself loose.
I ignored their words.
When they called me loose.
And when I cried, you were gone.
I wish I knew before I loved you.
I let it go.
I thought we were real.
You thought it was a show.
Soon I realized who you were.
but I lost myself.
My life was a blur.
Because I loved you I turned things around.
They laughed at you.
Now you're the one with a frown.
