Why Do You Love Me

You teach me lessons that I never seem to learn
You build another bridge for every one I burn
You believe in me
Far beyond my limitations
It's hard to live up to the faith you have in me
Your patience sees the person I could never be
And says that's who I am
In spite of all I've been
Even though you know what's in my heart

Why do you love me? Why are you here?
When I don't give you a reason to even want to care
Why do you suffer my private pain?
I can't believe the things you've seen me through
Why do you love me like you do?

When I can't see beyond the shadows of my past
When all my treasured dreams are slipping from my grasp
You restore my hope
Far beyond my expectations
You are a warrior to the demons at my door
When I am not enough then you're a little more
An answer to a prayer
When no one else is there
A hero in my deepest hour of need

Why do you love me? Why are you here?
When I don't give you a reason to even want to care
Why do you suffer my private pain
I can't believe the selflessness of you
Why do you love me like you do?
I can't believe the things you've seen me through
Why do you love me like you do?
