Because I Love You


I break a little when you say

"Its because I love you"

I want to believe it

I want it to be true

 

But its hard to believe it

When you scream it at me

Or use it to justify you actions

When you know you're in the wrong

 

I want to do the impossible

Because I love you

 

I want to pull the moon closer 

Because you love the way it glows

I want to be someone I'm not

Just so you'd be happy

 

I make a promise

With "because I love you"

You make a threat

So I'm leaving

Because I love me more

Than I love you
