I don't look at myself in the mirror                                                        
All I see is who I hate but clearer                                                          ­                                                       If I really hone my on my flaws                                                            ­                                                    I rip myself up with no pause                                                            ­                                                  
So much hatred lives inside me                                                               ­                                                    
 It swallows me up like the sea                                                              ­                                              
Still it leaves me with the pain                                                             ­                                                That I will relive all over again                                                            ­                                           Leaving unhealed wounds that scar                                                             ­                                          Wounds that burn hot like the stars

How quickly life passes us by                                                         
  That we often don't enjoy the ride                                                        
   Always wishing our days away                                                            
   Like we are assured another day                                                    
  Days turn into months, then
  years                                                         ­                         
And just like that we disappear                                                    
While loved ones go through all our stuff                           
Holding onto trinkets we held dear  by us      
Every once in a while, our name comes up                                         
A memory , a life , a loss of love.

There's nothing left between you &I                                                                ­                                                    I don't know about you, but I tried                                                           You don't love anyone but yourself                                                         ­                                                You broke me & put me through hell                                                Our whole lives I gave you my all                                                              ­                                                  When I needed you , you let me fall                                                             ­                                                     I closed my eyes & forgave you still                                                            ­                                                      While you busy breaking my will                                                             ­                                                  
I bent until I was broken in two                                                              ­
I see it all now, it's in clear view                                                             ­                                                   As I walk away from you

You are in the corner you backed me into                                                                                                              How does it feel to wear the other shoe?                                                                                                    
Tables have turned & I'm not going back                                                                                                            to being the rag doll in your attacks                                                          ­                                       Who's wearing your pants right now.                                               Who's mouthing off & feeling **** proud                                                                                                    
Don't you just want to take control                                                          ­                                            See how really deep you dug your hole?                                                                                                          
I'm sure you don't know what this is                                                                                                                    I always sat there & took your ****                                                             ­                                                                 I think it's about time that you & me                                                                                                           Changed our shoe's permanently

The man I loved didn't love me                                                               ­                                               He told me I was unworthy                                                         ­                                      Called me names, that I won't say                                                              ­                                          
Made my life hell everyday                                                         ­                                               His whole goal was to break me down                                                             ­                                        Make insults with others around                                                           ­         I took it & swallowed my pride                                                            ­                                                     Went along on a hell of a ride                                                             ­                                       
Telling myself If still loved you                                                              ­ 
 You would really love me too                                                              ­                                              Now I know there's nothing I can do                                                               ­                                             There is no fixing you

You want to scream out loud in your rage                                                             ­                                          
 Like a circus lion trapped in a cage                                                                                                 Someone should teach you how to behave                                                           ­                                              All the while you treat me like your slave                                                            ­                                                                 ­                                 
                                                                ­                                                   You are a dictator through & through                                                                                                        
I cannot help how much I hate you                                                            What makes you do the things that you do                                    
And I am the one with the attitude?                                                        ­                                                             
   ­                                                                 ­                                                     You throw affection like a dog's bone                                                       Often enough so that I know I am owned                                                                                                    
With a noose hung around my neck                                                                                                          You pull on at times to keep me in check                                                            ­                                                                
­                                                                 ­                                                You've had control of my entire life                                                                                                                  
I am a prisoner, I'm not your wife                                                             ­                                            
 Let me go, please let me be free                                                             ­                                               the way you love me is killing me
