Because I Love You


I realized I loved you when I couldn't sleep
 because i was tossing and turning in bed. 
I realized I loved you when I couldn't do anything
 without you running through my head.
 
Im not sure where it all went wrong
 but everything I do reminds me of you.
 Whenever I click "next" its somehow our song 
I really pictured myself saying "I do".
 
Because I love you I don't mind when you yell, 
I know its not personal .
Because I love you I keep telling everyone I fell 
 when we all know thats not true. 
 
I wanted to help you transition from punching walls to being at ease. 
I thought I wanted to spend my life with you , see you finally get down on your knees.
 
 But because I love you, I know you need to be alone
Because I love you I know I shouldn't answer the phone
 
Yet somehow I do... every time
 

But because I love me, I'm finally walking away 

 And hopefully tomorrow will be a different day
