#BecuaseILoveYou
I wake up in the morning
Not feeling the day, not even feeling life in general
“Why should I get up today?”
“Because I love you,” you say.
As I drag my feet along the floor
Only wanting to go home
“Why should I continue?”
“Because I love you,” you say.
Life would be so much better if I could just get into a terrible accident
“Drive safe.”
“Why should I?”
“Because I love you,” you say.
As the world falls apart around me
And nothing seems to go my way
“Why should I continue living?’
“Because I love you,” you say.
It’s always been you
Keeping me going through
Never letting me give up
“Because I love you,” you say.
When the struggles of the world
Feel heavy on my shoulders
You take some of my pain and put it onto your back
“Because I love you,” you say.
When I push you away
You come back once more
Never letting me shut the door
“Because I love you,” you say.
You stick around when I don’t deserve it
You put up with so much of my crap
“Why do you stay?”
“Because I love you,” you say.
When I don’t know what to do
When I don’t know where to go
When I can’t find my purpose to carry on
“Because I love you,” you say.
And when you feel you aren’t enough
To keep me going each day
You ask, “Why do you stay on this broken world?”
“Because I love you,” I say.
And that is that, and nothing more,
Just you and I
Taking on the world.
