I hate your past craze
Does it really matter anymore?
I mean your pure ignorance of before
You say you're trying
And I know you are because I can see it in the tears that you're crying
Why'd you have to do those horrible things?
I wish just once, you would've listened to yourself and believed in yourself
Self confidence and less mistakes is what that would bring
So here I am,
Betrayed by you and your past
Will our love really last?
Time and time again
We're followed by your past sins
When does it end?
With me, a simple straight shooter named Ben?
I've taught you a lot already
And you've been a great student for yourself
But how much,
How much more of your past do I have to shelf?
I look into your eyes
And I always realize
Who you truly should be
When will you realize that too?
And proudly stand up and say "I am happy to be me"
Rough times have quaked your world
Some of your doing, some of others
You've been done wrong by all your past lovers.
Now it's my turn
To do my best and help you learn
But you hurt my heart with your past and man does it burn
But what can I do
What can I do
When I love you
And you for you
The you of today is far better than the you of yesterday
We're in this together, and I'll be by your side every step of the way
No matter what happened to you in the past
No matter what losers continue to surface
Know that you're better than them
Nobody was there for you when you needed them
I say shame on him, him, him, and however many more hims
We might've gotten together on mere whim
But I'm glad I'm in
From me you get nothing but truth
Good or bad
Whether it makes you happy or sad
I've promised you I will never hurt you and I'll always keep that promise
Whether I'm happy or pissed
Please realize this
I love you and will never hurt you
I'm not a loser from your past and nor will I ever be
I love you for you
And I'll be sure to do everything right so you can love me for me
I get upset at what you did
But maybe I shouldn't
Because I'm glad that your history isn't something that you have hid
At least not from me
It allows me to know every part of you
The good, the bad, the ugly
It doesn't matter to me
Because it helps me know the YOU
The all of YOU
The YOU that I have fallen in love with
And maybe you wouldn't be who you are with me, if all those things hadn't happened
Maybe you would turn around and say you don't want me
But I think we're both learning things together
And we'll continue on the roads of love, around every bend
You bring me affection, desire, and sensitivity
I let you be you
And you let me be me
Regardless of what happens
Just know I love you and will always be here for you
Bringing you nothing but butterflies and grins
I LOVE YOU
