Something To Walk On

If love were a staircase would you take it one step at a time? Probably not, you just walk all over it like you do mine. And if love were a crime would you break the law, would you drop a dime and say what you saw, when you look in my eyes. Would you tell me the truth, when I ask for the truth? Or would you lie to my face the way you normally do. Now I know I'm not perfect, never have been, never will be. I made some pretty nasty mistakes. Yes for so much I am guilty. But that doesn't mean that I meant it and nothing feels worse, than to know that it's my actions that has left a loved one hurt. I feel like dirt , like a piece of trash. And maybe that's why you treat my love like grass. Just something to walk on, something thats way below you. But that's so dangerous to walk on like an untied shoe. So what should I do, just lay down flat? I'm powerless plus to you I'm just your welcome mat. Its cowardice, the way I act when it comes to you. Your ground is my back, so walk on thru. Step over my shoulders and jump on my heart. Lie to my face, go ahead and tare me apart. Break me down, it's what you do best. Just walk all over me, til there's nothing left.
