Can you accept me for who I am?
See the value my heart still holds?
Will you pick it up off the ground where it rests
Horrifyingly bruised and treat it like gold?
Is redemption too great of a gift to demand?
Ask myself is it too late?
If this love is still worth fighting for
Why are we also filled with hate?
Or are we just frustrated
After investing so much
Only to witness all our efforts
Still not be good enough?
A couple once envied by dozens
Now pitied by those we know
If we had before not been up so high
Would the low still feel this low?
Which am I addicted to more?
The rush from drugs or the scent of your skin?
Why do I have to make that decision?
There's no option where we both win
Where will the criticism stop?
When will it change to compromise?
Can we save our relationship
Before the intimacy dies?
How do we repair our damaged trust?
Cause I don't see how we will
Do you think we really have a shot?
Are you even in love with me still?
Why do I scream at you when I hurt?
How come I can't control my voice?
What commands me against my will?
Temper leaving no other choice
Can I overcome these violent urges?
Are these tendencies an unbreakable curse?
Will I ever become a better person?
Or am I destined to only grow worse?

If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
