Fight for All the Wrong Reasons

You were a bad boy from the beginning;
A rebel without a cause.
Yet your deep brown eyes, they drew me in,
Despite your never-ending flaws.

I stuck up for you every single day
When that temper of yours shone through.
It's true when they say that love is blind
Because I seemed to fall for you.

I was fighting for all the wrong reasons,
Turned my back on those I loved.
I thought you felt the same as me,
But somehow it wasn't enough.

I believed that sticking up for you
Would earn me the love I yearned.
Yet I was wrong in what I thought;
You just left me with my worst fears.
