#BecauseILoveYou


He said that he loved me so many times

That phrase began to lose it's meaning

He thought that by saying it, it would make it all better

He was wrong

 

Say I love you only when you mean it

Prove it by actions

Do for me as I'd do for you

He'll never do that

 

Be vulnerable with me

Show me your heart

Let me show you my heart

He can't be trusted with my scars

 

He gets what he wants when he says he loves me

Those words got to me every time

Now it doesn't phase me

He's not used to this

 

He didn't love me

He loved what those words did to me

He loved it

But now hes alone 

Those words now do nothing
