Controlled

If you were forbidden
Like Romeo to Juliet,
Then I'd still love you.

If you went away,
I'd ask you to stay, 
And if you said no,
I'd let you go.
Then I'd still love you.

If you cut me,
Like a knife,
And tore apart,
My already bleeding heart,
Then I'd still love you.

If we ever married,
And got divorced,
I'd know you needed to leave,
Then I'd still love you.

I'd still love you if,
You didn't love me,
You didn't want me.
Even if you called me the worst things,
And got mad because of me.
I'd still love you.
