#BecauseILoveYou


Because I love you,

I want you to be happy.

Because I love you,

I want you to succeed.

Because I love you, 

I want you to do better.

And because I love you, 

I want to be what you need. 

 

Because I love you, 

I’ll listen to your music. 

Because I love you, 

I’ll watch that movie again. 

Because I love you,

I’ll remind you to be safe.

And because I love you, 

I’ll trust where you’ve been. 

 

Because I love you, 

Your seatbelt has to be on. 

Because I love you, 

Your parents don’t scare me.

Because I love you

Your laugh makes me happy.

And because I love you,

You’re the calm in my sea.

 

Because I love you,

I’m sorry I’m a tempest.

Because I love you,

I can’t hold you back

Because I love you,

I’d do anything for you.

And because I love you, 

You need to know what I lack. 

 

Because I love you, 

You should know that I’m broken. 

Because I love you, 

You should know that I hurt.

Because I love you, 

You should know that I want you. 

And because I love you,

You need to know first. 

 

Because I love you,

I want whats’ best.

Because I love you,

I want you to succeed.

Because I love you,

I know you deserve better. 

And because I love you,

I have to set you free.

 

Because you love me,

You don’t want me to go. 

Because you love me, 

You say you’ll be fine.

Because you love me, 

You ask me to stay.

And because you love me,

You don’t take my sign. 

 

Because you love me, 

You care so much.

Because you love me, 

You don’t care for yourself.

Because you love me, 

You tell me you’ll help.

And because you love me, 

You ignore my stealth. 

 

Because you love me, 

You hide what you know. 

Because you love me,

You pretend I don’t know.

Because you love me,

You say I’m not volatile.

And because you love me, 

I don’t let it show. 

 

Because I love you,

I want to stay close.

Because I love you, 

I need you to know, 

Because I love you, 

I cannot be fixed,

And just because I love you,

Doesn’t mean I can keep up this show.

 

Because I love you, 

You have to see all of me,

Because I love you, 

I’ll shut down the show.

Because I love you,

I love all the pieces. 

And because I love you,

We’ll take things quite slow. 

 

Because you love me,

You tell me your secret.

Because you love me,

you’re opening up,

Because you love me,

You share we’re both broken.

And because you love me,

You wont let me go.

 

Because I love you,

I tell you I’m scared. 

Because you love me, 

You say you are too,

Because I love you, 

We’re in this together.

Because you love me, 

We’ll see this thing through.
