You claim to love me
And that that would never change.
You say that you'll always care for me
No matter how I age.

But oh how funny is it,
That your promises turn to poison?
And no matter what love you preach,
You'll always have me imprisoned.

You'll always take away my will
And twist the words I say.
Oh, what kind of love this sweet
Will turn into decay?

You call me dumb, brainless, stupid.
That I never stop to even fucking think.
You said you wished I was dead,
All these words drive me to the brink.

Oh what the promise of "unconditional love" turned to be.
That always leaves me asking why,
Why in your arms I was promised comfort,
I always seem to cry?

I start to hate myself because of you
And I started to define myself by your words
Though deep inside I know I'm not that.
You, my darling, have corrupted my world.

You claim to care, love, and be open.
You say you're the only one I can trust.
But you're the reason I'm broken
And my heart turned to dust.

And while I try to pick up my pieces,
You return and promise shit, which you see,
I'll fall for over again.
Oh how bitter this cycle turned out to be.
