Innocence stripped
Purity gone
The line has been drawn
I can no longer hold my head high about the things I held dear
Willfully given, yet greedily taken without remorse
I could not say no to his force
You do anything to keep the ones you love
But I realized too late that I was drowning in a lie
If this was true love I wouldn't hurt and cry
Happiness gone
Contentment stripped
You left me here with a broken heart that couldn't be knit                  
I've built up my walls, good luck trying to hurt me now      
Love is a battlefield and this time I'm prepared for war
Love is a gamble and I won't keep laying my cards down at your table
One day I'll look back on these days and know I learned from it
But all I've learned so far is that I can love someone to the ends of the Earth...
And they can still hurt me worse
