The Weight Lifted

Because you loved me You held my heart captive In an old chest in your room There you just trapped it • Because you loved me You hid me from your faults With my heart in that chest And the devil you waltzed • Because you loved me You threw my life away When I had nothing to leave for It was guaranteed I'd stay • Because I love me I broke the chain That held me down And caused my pain • Because I love me I learned to grow I learned to live, Which seeds to sow • Because I love me I'm not afraid I don't back down I speak my say • Because he loves me He holds my hand He makes me laugh He's never bland • Because he loves me I'm not his fool I am his queen On a pedestal • Because he loves me He taught me love What I feel from him Once unheard of
