Painful love

You say you love me

But I feel smothered by your love

It's like I can't breathe

And every time I try to take a breath

It feels like I'm drowning

Cause there's no freedom in your loving

You anchor me to yourself

Cause you think you can't live without me

But I can't live like this

Like a prisoner of your love

That used to keep me safe and warm

And now burns me like a flame...

I really want us to work

But it's only been getting worse day by day

I think I love you

But your touch makes my skin crawl

And all the words of love I've spoken only seem empty

I wish I could leave but I don't know how

I don't want to hurt you

Believe me, I really don't!

But perhaps by staying

I'm only hurting myself...
