Because I love you


You're ugly 

Don't wear that.

No one wants likes you anyway. 

I'm not going to stop.

I'm trying to help you, you're lucky

because no one else was going to say it

Why do I do it? 

because I love you 

Is that it? Or is it because I hate myself

I'm upset because you're so wonderful

I can't tell you that or you'll leave

I can't lose you. 

So I'll break you instead.
