I came to you because I loved you
because I loved you, I ignored fate-
I left because I loved you
because I loved you, I held the hope
that, in time, turned to hate.

I played the game your way
though I didn't understand the rules
I had faith in all your reasons
but then again, faith is for fools.

Because I loved you, I held the pain
thinking that you would eventually see
how very much I loved you
so much that I was punishing me
but I guess that was my stupidity
to think that you had a heart
to think that you weren't that cold
to watch me die for our being apart.

Because I loved you, I wept
cried my tears till I didn't have any
in that short time, it seemed like a million
now I see it was a million too many.

I never should have let myself love you
I should have faced the pending fate-
because I loved you, though it came too late
strong and deep, but you couldn't wait...
stronger and deeper now is my hate.
