Because I loved you I


Because I loved you I let you love me

When I was happy I let you love me

When I was excited I let you love me 

When I felt beautiful I let you love me

......I let you love me

 

When I was down I let you love me

When I was crying I let you love me

When I felt ugly and broken inside I let you love me...because I didn’t love me

 

I felt worthless because I didn’t love me

I felt empty because I didn’t love me

I felt lonely because I didn’t love me

....I didn’t love me

 

Why did you call me perfect when I didn’t love me?

Why did you say I was your everything when I didn’t love me?

Why did you love me when I couldn’t stand me?

 

You made me laugh you made me smile

you made me feel like I was capable of loving me

 

But because of my past I was never able to love me 

Because of the of the pain I was put through I am not able to love me

Even though I loved you I am incapable of loving me

And because I pushed you away you couldn’t love me
