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?
