Because I Love You


You touch my face, but I feel no warmth
You stare at me, but I can't stare back
You wipe my tears, yet they won't stop falling
'Cause I know you'd be with me no more

The sun has set; it's time for you to leave
I close my eyes, wishing you well
You smile but deep inside you're crying
I know your words mean farewell

You touch my hand, but still I feel empty
You hold me close, but still I feel cold
You speak soothing words that I know you don't mean
The word goodbye remains untold

I draw away to finish it all
The right thing is to let you go
Don't worry, I'll be fine; I'm
setting you free
Because I love you so
