because i loved you

I touched your face
You were asleep that night but I watched you
Wake up from a dream
I turned to hold you
The silence broken by a whisper
Wishing it would rain

It could rain for forty days and forty nights
I'd still be by your side
And when the land was dry
I'd still love you

I raised my voice
You were so bitter that it scared me
To think of what I'd lost
And what you'd gain
If I just walked out and left you
Would you even care?

Would you care about a foolish broken man?
Or would you understand
That I still loved you

You walked away
I was asleep that night but I heard you
Or was it all a dream?
You touched my face
And I knew your heart was empty
I took too much from you

I'm sorry for the things I put you through
Every dream that won't come true
Because I loved you
