Because I Love You
Because I Love You
By: Miranda York
Everyone always wants to know why.
Why does he hurt me?
Why does she leave me?
They don't understand like you do.
I do everything I do because I love you.
I tell you these things because you need to know.
Yes, I think you're annoying
No, I don't want to be seen with you.
I'm glad that at least you understand me.
I do everything I do because I love you.
I hide from you during the day, to help you learn and grow.
You laugh too loud, I'll tell you.
Stop talking, you're not funny.
I want you to become a better person, what else?
I do everything I do because I love you.
I can see you slipping away, and I'm petrified.
What did I do, to make you feel this way?
I give you the honest truth.
I though you knew.
I do everything I do because I love you.
