Because I Love You


Relationships should be a really good thing,

But instead people use it as a way to do beatings.

They say "I love you"

But you gotta believe me, it's not always true.

If they're hurting you, you gotta leave

We don't want to end having to grieve.

Maybe you want some closure first,

I understand, that's not the worst

So sit down with them, ask them why they did it

If they say "Because I love you" you gotta quit it

Move on from him, you deserve better

Cause you're responsible for you, not him you just calls you "her"

Move on from them, it's what you gotta do

Because love isn't shown through a bruise on you.
