Because I Love You


because i love you, i confide in you.

tell you everything, all my words are true. 

because i love you, i seek attention from you. 

i want your eyes on me and your heart too. 

 

because i love you, i make sure to make time

even when i'm busy and there's so much on my mind. 

because i love you, i dream about the time

when i'll walk down the aisle with your hand in mine. 

 

being in love with you was a feeling turned to a choice

a choice to work things out and listen to your voice. 

there were doubts. there were arguments down the line, 

but we fought through the storm and i think that's a sign. 

 

there will be bad days where there's pain and sorrow. 

and you'll cry and i'll scream and we fight but i know,

if we truly want to build, truly want to grow

then we'll tread through life together, through sunshine and snow. 

 

because i love you, i know not to get mad

when other girls are flirting and showing how they're "bad."

because i love you, there's no reason to be mad.

they'll come trying to take you and you'll say, "i'm her lad." 

 

because i love you, i support your dreams.

always want you to know that you can achieve anything. 

because i love you, you are in my dreams. 

happiness and success will come if we stay a team. 

 

because i love you, i know it's true

that you do these things for me just as i do for you. 

because i love you, i can always see

that you do these things

because you love me.
