Because I loved you

Do you remember when we first met?
--You leaned over and kissed me--
I told you I loved you, you said that you loved me,
And you would wait for me, wait for me, wait for me.
You'd always wait for me, wait for me, wait for me.

I wrote you letters, wrote you poems everyday;
I told you secrets, told you how much i missed you while I was away,
And when I came home, I asked you to be my wife.
Please will you marry me, marry me, marry me.
You said you'd marry me, marry me, marry me.


We dont have much, and your so mad
--Please dont yell at me--
Im trying so hard, I love you so much, why isnt that enough?
What's wrong with me, wrong with me, wrong with me?
Tell me whats wrong with me, wrong with me, wrong with me?

Now its over and i dont know why.
Was everything you told me just a lie?
The hours go by with everyday,
And promise the pain will soon go away.

All I want is for the hurt to fade
But everything just stays the same.
I found out the hardest way
That love and happiness arent the same.

I dont know why it went the way it did.
This wasnt the life we were suppose to live.
I tried so hard, I tried so hard but I failed
To make you happy, happy, happy.
I want you to be happy, happy, happy.

I gave you flowers, gave you presents, gave you my life.
I gave you everything that i could that was mine
I wanted to give you the whole entire world
Because i loved you, loved you, loved you.
I loved you, loved you, loved you.

Your the only one i let hurt me inside
And when im alone, I still cry.
When you think of me, you probably laugh
And joke about that I ever asked you to come back.

You taught me to hate myself,
And never trust anybody else.
I'll never love anyone again
You stole away my innocence.

You used to hold me while i would sleep
--That was so long ago--
I took you home, to meet my mom and dad;
I was so proud of you, proud of you, proud of you.
And you were proud of me, proud of me, proud of me.


When you told me you were going to go away
On my knees i begged and pleaded for you to stay.
I love you so much, what did I ever do?
To make you leave me, leave me, leave me.
Why did you leave me, leave me, leave me?

I gave you everything, gave you my soul, gave you my heart,
And when you left, gave you money and the keys to my car.
You never said "Im sorry" or what it is i did
Why do you hate me, hate me, hate me?
Why do you hate me, hate me, hate me?
