Because I love you

I fell in love with him

Was it his charm, that smile, or big brown eyes?

My life was dark and grim

He fooled me with his lies

I cried myself to sleep

As I was accused of cheating

Oh, man..I was in too deep

1:00am on a Monday…we're screaming

His hand wrapped around my neck

Oh, the Deja vu

That relationship was a wreck

Did I cower because he said "I love you?"

No...no...I wasn't staying

Holding hands, laughter, respect

Everything I'd been conveying

I will resurrect

I will not settle for anything less

Freedom, honesty, trust

I will not stress

Consistency is a must

Smart, responsible, funny

Now you're my something new

I'll say yes when you're on one knee

Because I love you
