Because of You


Because he loved me

I thought I was deserved the pain

I thought that I deserved the cuts

 

Because you love me

I found that I am not worthless

I realized that when I hurt myself, I hurt you


Because of him,

I thought I could be stepped on

 

Because of you,

I found my strength

 

Because of him,

I lost myself for his needs

 

Because of you,

I lost him

 

Because of him

I know how I should be treated

 

All because you love me,

And I can finally say,

I love you too.
