It's in the Past


because he loved you, he let you fight your own battle

because he loved you, he put you second to everyone

because he loved you, he told you not to tell anyone

because he loved you, he taught you a lesson to learn from your mistakes

because he loved you, he chose to be with you both 

because he loved you, he blamed it all on you

because he loved you, he broke you into pieces

because he loved you, he caged your heart

because I love you, I fight the battle with you

because I love you, I put you as my priority

because I love you, I ask for your consent

because I love you, I am open and not afraid to talk problems out

because I love you, I chose you

because I love you, I take responsibility for my actions

because I love you, I glued the pieces together

because I love you, I set your heart free

because I love you, we are infinite
