3NOTE: Once again-HIGH, I tell you! XP
One Selfish Love
I'll tell you a story
Of one selfish love
Instead of a blessing
Hell fell from above
I saw its eyes flutter
And then open wide
It stared right back at me
I froze at its side
-o-
I said I'd escape from this nightmare, this lie
I told him I'd run—he said, "Just you try"
-o-
He took what he wanted,
The best out of me
A little glass doll
Was the most he could see
As a doll, I could break
Carelessness was his crime
But he'd piece me right back
Just to play one more time
-o-
I wanted to forget the pain, but I don't
I told him I'd leave—he said, "No, you won't"
-o-
I never knew freedom
I bled all alone
It hurt just to breathe
Every thought was unknown
His smile was stunning
His eyes shone so bright
I already knew
What would happen tonight
-o-
I wanted to break out, take flight on a cloud
I told him I'd scream—he said, "Make it loud"
-o-
I thrashed in his arms
But he liked a good fight
I tried to resist
But this almost felt right
He whispered so softly
I knew he had won
Why did my heart pound now?
God, what had he done?
-o-
As soon as he touched me, my whole world turned red
I told him I'd cry—he said, "Go ahead"
-o-
It sparkled so strongly
His happiness grew
I cried when I saw it
I would stay, I knew
If I walked away now,
It would tear him apart
I could crush him so hard
—All I lacked was the heart
-o-
Why can't this one demon lose its hold on me?
I told him I'd fight—he said, "Let me see"
-o-
I wanted to leave him,
Be rid of his touch
But, after all of these years
I still love him so much
I asked him, "Why do this?"
Through tears—"How could you?"
He answered me simply
"Because I love you too"
