Controlling

you start out cold and lonely,

then you meet this someone 
new.

he tells you what you want to 
hear,

your heart he will consume.

 

you think you are doing right,

by giving everything away,

he says that he will be yours,

forever from this day.

 

'you cant wear that',

'thats too tight',

all these things,

lead to numerous fights.

 

he has your heart,

you love him so,

but all these fights,

have got to go.

 

you spill your heart,

tell him how you feel,

he says you deserve better,

but his love is so real.

 

you dont want to accept it,

although in your heart you 
know,

at the end of the day,

you think of letting go.

 

you still cant cope,

with the heart break,

so you think all the fights,

are worth the ache.

 

he consoles you,

when your days have gone bad,

then you do something wrong,

something that makes him 
mad.

 

here we go,

fighting again,

at this point,

i need a friend.

 

none of them want to listen,

because you've pushed them 
away,

you need them back,

this might be the day.

 

'im sorry baby',

'i need you',

you believe him,

so what do you do?

 

tell him its okay,

when really its not,

the fights dont get better,

they just get more hot.

 

i cant take this anymore,

its driving me insane,

'im sorry, sir,

but you cant put me through 
this pain'

 

its over now,

you're back to point a,

you're feelings for him,

They start to fade away.
