Because I Love You

Because I love you don’t talk to them

I don’t want you taken away from me

What are you hiding on your phone?

This is how it’s going to be

I see how it is

I should’ve known

I love you but you don’t love me

 

Because I love you

I’m sorry I didn’t mean it

All those things I said

How could you think I did?

It was only jealousy I just wanted to see what you hid

I only want to protect you

It’s them I don’t trust, not you

So only talk to these few

They don’t want you in that way

 

Because I love you

I think we should break up

Why? You don’t reply every hour that I text you

You need space?

I only want to keep you safe!

I need to know who you are talking to

To know that they won’t make a move on you

I know you’re cheating on me

They’re just a friend? That’s what they all say!

You’re with them everyday

I do all of this for you and this is how I’m repaid!?

 

*Smack!*

I’m sorry baby I didn’t mean it

*Smack!*

It’s just my temper you know?

*Smack!*

Why must you try to get me angry

I don’t mean any of the blows

*Smack!*

You know I love you!

*Smack!*

Please come back! Baby, I bought these for you

 

9-1-1 what’s your emergency?

Help me

Sir what is going on?

My girlfriend locked me in the bathroom, I think she has a gun

Sir, where are you

Ths has been happening a ton-

*Slam*

*Boom*

Sir. Sir!

I loved you!
