YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME
BUT HOW COULD YOU LOVE ME
AND YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND
HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF
YOU TELL ME THAT YOU NEED ME
AND I WOULD RATHER THAT YOU
WANT ME INSTEAD OF NEED ME
BECAUSE IF YOU NEED ME
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT YOU MIGHT JUST
BECOME A VAMPIRE IN MY LIFE
DRAINING ME OF MY LIVING ESSENCE
AND YES LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND BUT
YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE LOVES KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS
CRUSHING IT INTO A DUST SO FINE THAT IT IS
NOT VISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE
AND....I...THE ONE WHO YOU SAY YOU LOVE...AM TIRED
EACH TIME WE GO AROUND THIS MOUNTAIN
YOU ASSURE ME THAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN
AND LOVE CAUSES ME TO ALLOW THE LAST OUNCE
OF COMMON SENSE I HAVE
TO ESCAPE FROM MY MIND
AND RETURN BACK TO YOUR LAYER LIKE
A SLAVE
ONLY TO GO AROUND THE SAME MOUNTAIN AGAIN
WELL TODAY I AM STANDING UP
NO MORE MRS. NICE LADY
I REFUSE TO TAKE THIS ABUSE OF MY LOVE ANYMORE
MY GET AWAY CAR IS READY TO GO
MY BAGS ARE PACKED
MY MIND IS MADE UP
MY WOUNDS ARE READY TO HEAL
SO.....
AS YOU WATCH ME WALK AWAY
DON'T TRY TO STOP ME BECAUSE
LOVE HAS NO CONVERSATION FOR YOU
LOVE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
I WILL NOT LOOK BACK
LOOKING BACK CAUSED LOT'S WIFE TO TURN
INTO A PILLAR OF SALT
AND I DON'T NEED ANYMORE SALT IN MY WOUNDS
YOU LEFT MY LOVE FOR DEAD
LAYING IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT ON A RESPIRATOR
AND NOW AS IM FIGHTING TO STAY ALIVE
I SEE THAT SAME OLD SMILE
HEAR THAT SAME OLD LINE
BUT THIS TIME INSTEAD OF GIVING IN
I AM FIGHTING
FIGHTING FOR LOVE
FIGHTING FOR MYSELF
SO WHEN I SAY GOODBYE
DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL
BECAUSE IT'S JUST BUSINESS
MAYBE THE NEXT TIME YOU SAY
YOU LOVE SOMEONE....YOU WILL MEAN IT
STARTING WITH THE REFLECTION YOU SEE
THIS IS DEDICATED TO VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
LOVE SHOULD NEVER HURT. BE BLESSED.
