Because you "love" me


Because I love you, you give me something that’s worth the fight

Because I love you, in this world of darkness, you’re my light

Because I love you, In this world of wrong, you’re my right

Because I love you, I’ve elevated to a brand new height

Because I love you, I’ll always be by your side

Because I love you, I’m down for the journey if you promise to ride

Because I love you, You can be the Bonnie to my Clyde

Because I love you, I no longer need to hide

Because I love you, we are going to be together forever

Because I love you, we can storm any weather

Because I love you, Our burdens will be as light as a feather

Because I love you, we can survive any measure

Because I love you, you should stay with me

Because I love you, you should take off your tee

Because I love you, you should let me take your virginity

Because I love you, let me show off my masculinity

Because I love you, I only hit you one time

Because I love you, I treat you as if you’re worth more than a dime

Because I love you, you won’t see me hitting you as a crime

Because I love you, I’ll only need you at bedtime

Because I love you, I promise I won’t hurt you anymore

Because I love you, I softly pushed you into that door

Because I love you, you must bow down on the floor

Because I love you, you will know fear, down to its core.

 

Because I love you, you shouldn’t put me in jail

Because I love you, you should tell them this is just a tale

Because I love you, you should pay the bail

Because I love you, without me, you’re bound to fail

 

Bec- Stoppp! Your love isn’t love, your love is just pain.

You spent all this time reconditioning my brain

You made it so that my thoughts never had a train

Because you “love” me I ended up insane.
