The Truth of Love

The differences between My Love and hers were always too clear 

Time stopped when we were together 

But she stayed with him out of fear 

He always kept me close and near 

But not because I was in his chains 

Only because we held each other so dear 

She, on the other hand, couldn't stand his leer 

So she turned herself into a slave 

And hoped one day he'd disappear 

But why did she always, always persevere? 

It was because of four simple words 

That made her soul cheer 

"Because I love you" he would say 

"Because I love you" were words that she heard everyday. 

But he said them with malice and anger is voice 

To get what he wanted from her, 

So she didn't have a choice 

In his mouth the words "I love you" became too perverted 

He didn't really mean them each time they were said 

He only used them to make sure his control was asserted 

But I saw through his lies 

As we learned together what those words truly meant, 

As we made ourselves wise 

"Because I love you" 

We would say 

I will always be true 

"Because I love you" 

We proclaimed 

I will make sure you're never blue 

"Because I love you" 

We would shout over the noise of the rest of the world 

Through thick and thin we'll stick together like glue. 

These little things 

Are what make love real. 

Maybe one day

Our sisters heart will heal. 

So, In the space of a year 

I learned what love was, and what it was not 

And just hope one day this truth will be clear
