Because you loved me.

Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of my grandparents.

To my Inay and Tatay, this is for you.

For all those times you stood by me,

For all the truth that you made me see,

For all the joy you brought to my life,

For all the wrong that you made right...

-You are the always there for me, you always make me see the good things in life, you always remind me to keep my feet on the ground. You are my safe haven, you make me feel as if I'm never alone, you make me laugh the most, you make me cry the most. You make me feel as if I'm never doing anything wrong, to stay true to what and who I am. You trust me the most, you're always proud even on the little things that I do.

For all the love I found in you.

I'll be forever thankful baby,

You're the one who held me up,

Never let me fall,

You're the one who saw me through it all.

-I'm forever grateful that God blessed me with your existence, because I can't imagine this life without you by my side. I always pray for myself, so that I can be successful in life, to be rich in love, to be wealthy enough to give you everything you want and need. Because since I was little, I was blessed with so much love, with so much support and care. I am who I am today because you never gave up on me. You never saw my bad sides, you corrected it in a way only YOU know how. You are my rock, and this world doesn't deserve hearts like yours.

You gave me wings and made me fly,

You touched my hand I could touch the sky,

I lost my faith you gave it back to me,

You said no star was out of reach.

-You know I was never that strong, you know I'm never that brave. But just seeing you smile and laughing motivates and inspires me to do better. You believe me in me, more than I believe in myself. And it makes me feel invincible every time you tell me how capable I am of doing all the things I want to do and achieve. You never asked me to the best, you only told me to do my best. And please know, that every day, I do my best, but one day, I'll do better. For you.

You stood by me and I stood tall,

I have your love, I had it all.

-This verse needs no explaining at all, it speaks by itself. I know I can do everything, as long as I know you're there. I know you love me, and your love comforts me in the most difficult times.

You were always there for me The tender wind that carried me A light in the dark shining your love into my life You've been my inspiration Through the lies you were the truth My world is a better place because of you.

-Every time I come back home to you makes me feel excited every single time. You keep me sane, you keep me humble, you keep me close to God. I must have done something right in my past life to be blessed by you. You are my light in the darkness, when I feel like giving up I think of you and you keep me moving. The people around you are so blessed to have you. And what have we done to be deserving of your love and kindness?

You were my strength when I was weak You were my voice when I couldn't speak You were my eyes when I couldn't see You saw the best there was in me Lifted me up when I couldn't reach You gave me faith 'cause you believed I'm everything I am Because you loved me.

-You have no idea how much I love you, how grateful I am to have you. No words can explain how much I love you and need you everyday. I pray to God to always guide you, to give you many more years to live so that you'll see me be successful, so I can give back to you. If there is ever one thing materialistic in this world worthy enough of all the love you give to me and to your family, in a heartbeat I'd give it to you. You always brag about how lucky you are because of me and your children and grandchildren, but it's us who are really lucky to have you. You believe in me, so I do everything for you. Every step I take, every decision I make, I always think of you. I am who I am today because of you. If I could be half as kind, loving and caring as you are, I'd be more than happy. You always tell me to be better, but all I want is to be like you. To be seen by many like they see you. I AM EVERYTHING I AM. BECAUSE OF YOU, BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME.
