When I first saw you,
You took my breath away
You showered me with affection
And kind words
Things I was never used to
You held me
You kissed me
You made me feel fearless
Like the whole world was my oyster
You made me feel loved
You told me you loved me
Over and over
A kiss for each time you did
And you held my hand all the way through
Now when I see you,
The anxiety you give me takes my breath away
You shower me with death glares
And venomous words
Things that I was never used to with you
You stare in anger
You stare in hatred
You make me feel worthless
Like the whole world is closing in
You make me feel betrayed
You give me excuses
Over and over
A hiss each time you do
And you scream all the way through

When I first saw you,
You took my breath away
You showered me with affection
And kind words
Things I was never used to
You held me
You kissed me
You made me feel fearless
Like the whole world was my oyster
You made me feel loved
You told me you loved me
Over and over
A kiss for each time you did
And you held my hand all the way through
Now when I see you,
The anxiety you give me takes my breath away
You shower me with death glares
And venomous words
Things that I was never used to with you
You stare in anger
You stare in hatred
You make me feel worthless
Like the whole world is closing in
You make me feel betrayed
You give me excuses
Over and over
A hiss each time you do
And you scream all the way through
