B.I.L.Y


Because I Love You I give a piece of myself away Each day I put my hopes and dreams to the side Put them on the back burner A candlelight extinguished for the fire That burns in my heart for you I break myself because I love you I mistreat myself because I love you You are my stars and moon my child But what am I to you? I stay silent because I love you I suffer alone because I love you My world is no better than death Without you My gap-toothed smile only opens and Blossoms like marigolds in our garden for you I stand for you I cry for you I'd die for you I'd fly and soar for you I spread my arms like wings Only for you My back breaks My heart aches Because I Love You I love you I love you I love you
