Because I Love You
He holds you close
He helps you out
Everyone obviously knows it's
Because he loves you
He grips you tight
He tells you no
He never really lets you fight
Because he loves you
He bruises your arm
He holds you back
Your friends now see that he's a harm
Because he loves you
He spits "you're worthless!"
Your air's restricted
he has pushed it to the furthest
Because he loves you
You pack your bags, seek protection
You cry into the mirror
& whisper to your reflection
"Because I Love You"
