Because I Love You


I want you to stay with me,

And be there when I fall,

I need you

 

Because I love you… Because I love you…

 

I should leave you for awhile,

I’m not taking care of myself

I need to clear my mind

 

I know it’s hard right now, I know it’s hard right now,

 

But you bring out the best in me,

You show me that I am strong,

You have made me better

You brought out the best in me

But I need to do what’s best

This relationship is binding,

It’s not helping either of us

I’m don’t know myself anymore

 

There’s always an “us”- There’s always an "us" -

I always had you by my side;

You completed me

I’m your “shadow”;

I’m a person, not an accessory

 

I love you, I love you,

 

Please don’t go-

We can compromise

We can share how we feel

 

Please let me go-

We aren’t compromising

We are hiding our emotions

 

I know this will be best- I know this will be best-

 

We are a team and work together!

We value and respect each other

 

We haven’t been a team

And we’ve struggled too long

 

If there’s a way to make it work If there’s a way to make it work

 

I’ll find it

We would have found it

 

You have to listen- You have to listen-

 

I’ll stop ignoring you

I won’t take you for granted

You never change

I mean nothing to you

 

Listen to me! Listen to me!

 

Please don’t go.

I have to go.

 

Because I love you. Because I love you.
