Your love is like the dark
You even have taken my heart
Deep down in me, I find love for you
But hate comes to mind like a rhyme
Of a lost in time heated up night
For some reason, I don't feel the same as I
Once did in my life I can't explain it
But letting you go was okay
Your love is like a wild storm that never goes away
And brings so many heartaches
The shame of your love is too much for me to hang on to
I let you go so give me back my soul
My heart has gone cold
You still kept running deep in my mind
you make me want to scream
you even haunt me in my sleep
I am not the best person in your life
But I am not a bad one
I don't deserve your kind of love
Darkness is your game, your love, shame and blame
I can't live that way
Set me free, please
I made a promise to always love you
I will never break that promise
I love you
But not the same way you love me
If you come out of the dark and change to light of day
My love for you will run deep
Your love in the dark is killing me
Taken all my strength from me
Your love is lukewarm
I was always loyal and honest to you
You were always about you and your needs
You gave me lies and false dreams of what a love could be
Never had I make you doubt my love for you
I never broke a promise I made to you
But only you did all those bad things to me
And even called me Nona of your dreams
Your accomplishments were you with me
Your true happiness is me
But your love hurts too much it makes my heart bleed
I want you to never suffer nor cry
Yet I was the best for you and the life you live
Only the one that succeeds in doing good
I promise I won't allow anyone in my heart
That promise is true
You have me running and confused
Love is a word I will always be scared of
The truing of your voice that runs in my mind is
Something I want to let go
I hope you understand why I want you to let me go
I want you to stop hurting my life
You make my life feel like a failure.
