There I was
Isolated
Terrified
You rescued me from my broken home.
How was I to know you'd leave me
More damaged and alone
Than ever before

You lured me
With your sweet words
Kind eyes
So many promises

I was so naive

It felt so good
Your strength surrounding me
Arms like iron bars
Protecting and sheltering
Holding me back

Oh baby, why you love me so good?
You treat me so right
The best there's ever been
Hold me close, wipe my tears
Hold me close, assuage my fears
Hold me close
Hold me back
Oh baby, why you love me so good?

Golden haired Protector
The illusion of a halo
With the strength to move mountains

Older
Wiser
Sweet beyond words
Wrapping me in love
Surrounded by your essence

Prisoner in my own home
Hit me
Tease me
Please me.
Baby, why you love me so good?

Prisoner in my own home
RAGING
SCREAMING
PLEADING
Baby, why you love me so good?

An angel appeared to me
Picked me up off my knees
Sweet, naive girl.
What are you doing?
This isn't love

If you don't escape
He will **** you
I don't want to bury you
I can't do this for you

So I learned to love myself

Baby, I love you
Don't leave me
It'll never happen again
I swear.

Your words mean nothing to me now
Love is expressed through actions
Prove to me you love me
By letting me go

Oh baby, why you love me so good?

Prisoner in my own home
Hit me
Tease me
Please me
Baby, why you love me so good?

Prisoner in my own home
RAGING
SCREAMING
PLEADING
Baby, why you love me so good?

Your sweet nothings
Fall on deaf ears

Baby, I love myself
I'm not isolated anymore
I'm not terrified of you
I rescued me from my broken home

I am my own Protector now
I won't stay down,
Not for long.

I'm not that sweet
Naive girl anymore

Oh baby, why you love me so good?
Treat me so right
The best there's ever been
Hold me close, no more tears
Hold me close, no more fears
Hold me close
Never hold me back

Baby, why you love me so good?

I love myself
Because no one else would.
