you ask how i could love him
and still talk to him after he put me down
you ask me how i could put myself
in a position where i could be hurt
you ask why i have no self-esteem
or self-worth
but i do
i do
i have self-esteem and self-worth
i value myself above any other
i love myself despite the fact that you can't
why do i still love him?
why do i still put myself in that position?
yes, he hurt me before
but so have you
and i didn't lock you out, did i?
it is called forgiveness
you have to understand why people do the things they do
the reason he broke up with me
is because his friend made him
she didn't like me
so she told him she would tell the school
we were doing things we weren't supposed to do
if he didn't leave me
(which we did no such thing)
the thing is
i told people the bad things about him
i do not know why
but there is more good in him
he is so good
so very good
he is a gentleman
he is kind and gentle
he is trustworthy
and has a beautiful personality
there's so much more
there's good in him
that's why i love him
you do not see the good
everyone has their own type
everyone likes what they like
and he is mine
i love him
he makes me happy
and by what you are saying
you do not want me to have happiness
so thank you
but i'm going to do what makes me happy
and that's being with him
and if you don't like that
i'm sorry
but you're the one putting me down
you're the one hurting me
you're the one making me feel
worthless and not good enough
and i found someone who doesn't do that to me
so thanks but no thanks
i'm fine just where i am
