“Just Because I Loved You”

The first time you did it
You were just mad, I must admit
Because I loved you, I did not tell
I didn’t want anyone to know my life was as miserable as hell

As for the second time, it was almost the same
You were jealous, and I was to blame
Just because I loved you, I hid the bruises
And made up excuses

It happened over and over again
Each time, I “saved your face” and ignore my pain
Just because I loved you I pretended to smile
While my sorrow was huger than the Nile

Now, I wish I had told
The truth I wasn’t supposed to hold
But now it does not matter
Because my life has known a new chapter

Now, look what this love had cost
The biggest gift I ever got, just so, I lost
For today I was beaten to death
And my spirit and soul have left this earth.
