Because I Love You


Because I love you, I am honest.

Because I love you, I am kind.

Because I love you, I tell you what is on my mind.

Because I love you, I give up all my time,

but all you ever do is control me.

Because you love me, you are clingy.

Because you love me, you are controlling.

Because you love me, I have to give you all my time.

It is almost as if I have done a crime;

And because of those reasons, you are no longer mine.
