Because I Loved You

You made me see me

What you thought was me and I believed

Because I loved you

You changed me

Into your perfect image and I complied

Because I loved you

I would listen to your lies

And believe them as if they were true

Because I loved you

I accepted your apologies

Time after time

Because I loved you

You did what you wanted

I stayed behind

Because I loved you

You tore me apart

I put myself back together

Because I loved you

I shut out the world  

I made all my time for you

Because I loved you

I did as you pleased

you kept on pushing

Because I loved you

I began to make me happy and you moved on

Because you loved you

When I loved you
