Because I love me
Because I love you, I will be there
Whenever you need me
At three am in the pouring rain,
When your gas tank ran dry.
Because I love you, I’ll help you
I’ll pick up the pieces
I’ll buy the glue
I’ll put it together again.
Because I love you, I’ll listen
All night, if I have to
When I have work in the morning
When I’m so tired it aches
As you talk yourself in circles
To help you feel better.
Because I love you, I will lift you up
In any way I can
I will send cards and letters
I will bake cakes
I will clean your room
Because I loved you
I watched you crumbling
I watched you falling
I watched you refuse my hand
I watched you die in fragments
Because I love me
I am leaving today
I will never, ever
Burn myself alive
To keep you warm again
