Your piercing eyes see right through me.
You see no one but yourself.
I will never satisfy you,
But for me, there could be no one else.

We've been through it all;
Although most has been tainted, keeping me down...
I will never leave you,
Through all the resentments and lies, I'm having a breakdown.

I don't know why I love you
I don't know why you don't even care
Even when I thought about leaving you
Consequences too extreme to dare

The best times of my life are over now
I, finally, let you have control over me.
I should have left the night you first hit me
I'm sick and twisted, being alone seemed worst agony.

I made up excuses for you...
My real friends knew all along
They begged me to leave you,
Your constant abuse made me think I wasn't strong.

Now, I've given up on this existence.
I feel hopeless and so alone
Doesn't matter why I still feel love for you.
Almost dying has given me a new backbone.

Your piercing eyes always stared right through me
Blinded by everything else, only yourself to see
I could never satisfy you.
Now I'm putting my energy into something worthwhile....

.... ME!!
