It seems that our love crosses two different paths

Our calculations of trust, bond, and respect have been lost in the math

 

Because you loved me 

you took what was mine and decided what you would give

while your actions were undefined, your words combative

because you loved me 

you could rest assured that always I'd support you 

while you used your hands to show me how I hurt you

because you loved me

your words spoke louder than your actions 

and you expected all of your mistakes to merit my compassion 

 

Because I love you

I gave what I had until there was nothing left

until my heart was but a barren desert, a victim of theft

because I love you 

I lay awake at night, awaiting my fears to be washed away

as I hoped the scars I'd endured wouldn't see the light of day

because I love you

I accepted your reasoning no matter how dubious or strange

because I thought I could try and try and try to help you change

 

I loved and loved and loved

Only to be lost

Only to realize that our paths for love did not cross

And so I’ve set off on a road with an entirely different significance

Because I love you

I let you go

And that has made all the difference…
