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.
