Why Do You Love Me?
stop the mind games
give it to me straight
what is it that lured you in?
what did I use as bait?

‘twas not my beauty
of that I have none
but that’s what got me
you’re the gorgeous one

was it for my mind?
aloft like a dream
tell me I complete you
raise my self-esteem

if it not beauty or brains
was it pity you felt?
I simply need to know this
you make me melt

“your eyes” you say simply
“they reveal me and fill
all the empty spots
to live they gave me the will”

I knew this already
the questioning wasn’t in need
but each time I hear it
my heart loves to bleed
