What You Do To Me

So frightened of what lies ahead You're my firelight, shining in my feline eyes You light the road for me to tread You're my candlelight, refining the truth from the abominable lies You burn away my wretched mistakes I've made The neverending pile of debt and regret you've paid What you do to me Makes me happy in every single way, you see? I hope I can make you believe in me, baby... What you do to me makes me cry so bittersweetly What you do to me makes me laugh wholeheartedly What you do to me hurts my feelings and you have no clue What you do to me and what you put me through... Because of what you've done to me, I've been a fool by your side, can't break free Trusting you is like telling me to fly without wings of flight Stop telling me I'm weak and worthless...you were my delight of light, but now you're the contrite night Not everything is black and white, You are a million shades of gray I treasured you like my favorite kite Keep me warm inside...not frozen in any way Tomorrow brought me out of the dark Of yesterday's chambers...you're my childhood park What you do to me Makes me feel comforted, leaving no room for dismay and vanity You made me wait on you and you expect me to be patient, hun I'm irritated because you won't pick me up...I've been in the sweltering sun What you do to me makes me cry so bittersweetly What you do to me makes me laugh wholeheartedly What you do to me hurts my feelings and you have no clue What you do to me and what you put me through... Because of what you've done to me, I've been a fool by your side, can't break free Trusting you is like telling me to fly without wings of flight Stop telling me I'm weak and worthless...you were my delight of light, but now you're the contrite night You're nowhere to be found Lost in the crowd of commotion and motion You're somewhere in the ground I have devotion towards you, mixed with emotion I can take care of myself thank you very much But you deal with my burdens, pains and such What you do to me Is my cup of iced coffee...you are my one and only forever and ever, amen...you set me free from captivity's chaotic reverie This can't be happening to me...I will wake up from this dream I'm in This can't be replaying in my head...the dread you've put me through through thick and thin Where have you been? Where have you been? In despair...unprepared... I'm the hare and you're the turtle, beating me to the finish line Without a care, so scared... I'm the ocean and you're the sky, I'm rainy weeping and you're doing sunny fine What you do to me makes me cry so bittersweetly What you do to me makes me laugh wholeheartedly What you do to me hurts my feelings and you have no clue What you do to me and what you put me through... Because of what you've done to me, I've been a fool by your side, can't break free Trusting you is like telling me to fly without wings of flight Stop telling me I'm weak and worthless...you were my delight of light, but now you're the contrite night I'm like a switch, you can turn me on or off I'm like a b^#*^, you can piss me off or I can play rough and tough Swinging to and fro on the swings of my mood You're perfect head to toe and you should know that I'll be good...I'll be good Just for you, I'll be good in the hood Just like I should...I was bad to the bone, But now I'm all good, facing the fact that I'm on my own, but not alone All along, you have gone away like a temporary song I was wrong, you were right from the start...I should've held my tongue But it's what you do to me It's what you do to me You get enraged like King Kong...don't hurt me my dear You fight my battles for me - how can I thank you enough? I grant you good luck! You get disappointed in me when I do something wrong...that's what I fear With your might, my problems flee from me -I'm independent and I can carry a large load like a sturdy truck What you do to me I don't know why you serve me smiles when deserve frowns due to my downfalls...all of this is an optimistic obscurity

Excellent my friend...one line irks me a bit "Lost in the crowd of commotion and motion"....if you want you can use...Lost in a crowd of chaos and commotion...just my wavering thoughts.
