Because I Love You

Because I love you, I bring you into my life

Because I love you, I let you meet my family and friends

Because I love you, we get an apartment together

Because I love you, I tell you my secrets

Because I love you, you tell me yours

 

Becasue I love you, I wanted you to really love me too

Because I thought you love me, I let you consume me

Because I love you, I cover up my body

Because I love you, I stop going out so much

Because I love you, I don't listen to that band anymore

Because I love you, I only wear my hair the way you like it

Because I love you, I don't wear my favorite lipstick

Because I love you, I stop seeing my friends

Because I love you, I don't talk to my family anymore

Because I love you, I ignore their calls

Because I love you, I don't get mad when you come home late sometimes

Because I love you, I don't leave the apartment except to go to work

Because I love you, I quit my job when you tell me to

Because I love you, I don't let the tears fall when you're in the room

Because I love you, I don't say anything when you hurl insults at me

Because I love you, I don't hurt you like you hurt me

Because I love you, I stop loving myself

Because I love you, I let you win

Because I loved you, I lost me
