Because I Love You


Because I love you, I let you treat me like a human punching bag

 

Days in Days out, I seemed like I was the only one bad

 

Because I love you, I let you lie to my face

 

She’s a friend, nothing more, then I knew I was out of place

 

Because I love you, I came running back

 

Thinking you would change and everything would be fine

 

Because I Love you, I went blind

 

I seen all the things you’ve done and I let it go behind

 

Because I Love You, I gave you my heart

 

Worried you’d break it and i’ll fall apart

 

Because I Love You, I cried

 

Thinking you would feel my pain and apologize

 

But Because I Love You, I had to leave

 

Knowing you’d never change a damn thing

 

And  Because I Love You, I can never forget

 

The damage you had done that I couldn’t fix
