can't you reciprocate?

When you saw me
You barely washed my feet
Just so I could let you in

When I love you
I began to give in all my best
Just so you could stay for me

But when you got me
You built a cage with just one key
You locked me in and went on a new hunt

I wrestled with all the strength I have
In my tears,
In my sweat
In my precious blood that flows
Out of the wounds all over me

Until someone took that chance
He broke your cage and built me a palace

Just for me to realized I am imprisoned in a whole hell of heat
Fareaway where no one could hear my cries
Desperate to get out of here I followed another killer
It went on that way for this  whole blazing life

Then all of a sudden here you are again
And here I am with you again
I let you take me into your cage again
But this time around I have the spare keys thanks for that

The inviting outfit Is just a cover
Beneath it Is a roughly wounded me

I don't want to be a man
But of course not your perfect woman as well
Who take pain as part of her creation
Obeys the laws of you outlawed
Blames herself for your misgivings
And cry behind her curtains just so you could enjoy making her cry .

Can't you just reciprocate?
The good gestures and enjoy the moment...

Now that you know who I am
The wrong choice, huh?
Why are you still here
Crying of my deviant behavior?
Or are you or your specie worthy of my goodness?

Now to my next mistake,
Hey man! There will be no more compromise.
Cause when I was ice you Held me with hot hands
Now I'm remoulded with fresh sundrops of mid noon
And I won't use my snow hands on you just know that.
