You were to be the love of my life, You were supposed to be my wife, We were supposed to have a family, Then you went all psycho on me, Three months into I got my first taste of you, If I had known then, what I do now I'd have left you, But I stayed and clung to you like a lost puppy, You cared for me and controlled me and made love to me, I thought you could change, I could change, we could change, Together not quitting like always, it was weird and strange, I thought my life had found it's end, where I'd be forever, In your arms, in your life, forever to be your lover, Then you showed me your true and frightening side, On and off like Jekkyl and Hyde, When we'd get along and love each other, There was nothing in this world that was better, But when you're mad, my life is frozen and empty, I used to fear that one day you'd hit me, Many times you've thrown things or done things abusive, But always came up with some lousy excuses, But now I'm not in love with you, I know now our life together is through, So I'm not going to fear anymore, I'm simply going to walk out that door!
