Because If You Loved Me


Because I love me

I fight for the love I deserve

 

Because I love you

I tell you but not with words

 

Because you love me

You force me to see who I am and who I can be

 

Because you love you

I can see the strength behind your eyes that pushes you through the day

 

But I know theres something wrong

 

Because if you really loved me

You'd let me be who I am regardless of the world around us
