I don't wanna talk right now
I don't want to hear your voice
Whispering lies in my ears
And telling me things you know aren't true
You don't love me like you used to
And my feelings have changed too
Difference is mine changed for the better
And yours seemed to change to test me
To see how much I would take from you
I've gotten too close
To having taken enough too many times
But somehow you always
Convince me to stay
With no effort
Why can't I tell you no?
In the name of love?

Sometimes I think you don't understand
Just how much ive given you
And I don't mean that in an egotistical way
I just mean
I've done my best to treat you the best I can
And let you do what you want
And stopped asking you to stop doing things
That made me uncomfortable
Threw myself under the bus
And let you hurt me
And I said I was sorry
For things that weren't my fault
For fights I didn't start
Apologized to make you stop yelling at me
Apologized for having feelings
And expecting myself to be validated
Apologized for letting you hurt me
In the name of love?

I've begged for your forgiveness
When I didn't do anything wrong
And begged you to stay
When you didn't want to
But every time you still left
And I still cried
But every time I try to leave
You cry and you beg
Tell me you'll change
And you do
For a moment
Before slipping into those same habits
That fucking kill me
And I let you
In the name of love?
In the name of love...
