You’re under my skin
And I can’t seem to let you go
Gripping tightly, controlling my every move
You are always there
Lurking in the back of my mind
As if sitting on my shoulder
Demanding to be listened to
Why do I come back?
Why do I come running back to the thing that causes me pain?
The one who has always had control?
I thought I could trust you
Told you my deepest darkest secrets
And what did you do?
Spat your venom back into my face
Every lie you told I believe
You even had me thinking I was special
Made me feel something for once
Yet all I feel now is empty
You are a parasite
I never can get rid of
Because there will always be
Some part of you
Left in me.

You’re under my skin
And I can’t seem to let you go
Gripping tightly, controlling my every move
You are always there
Lurking in the back of my mind
As if sitting on my shoulder
Demanding to be listened to
Why do I come back?
Why do I come running back to the thing that causes me pain?
The one who has always had control?
I thought I could trust you
Told you my deepest darkest secrets
And what did you do?
Spat your venom back into my face
Every lie you told I believe
You even had me thinking I was special
Made me feel something for once
Yet all I feel now is empty
You are a parasite
I never can get rid of
Because there will always be
Some part of you
Left in me.
