Detestable Lover
Twist me, lie and steal my heart
Make me rise then fall apart
You tear me up, and break me down
While laughing as my mind spins 'round.
What is it you want me to do for you?
What that I don't already do?
I've given up all of what matters to me
Just to put you at ease and to comfort thee.
But comfort is what you'll never give
Won't put yourself out as long as you live.
I've done all I could do to show you my love
But you continue to torture with endless shove.
I'm not tough enough, I cry too much.
I can't cook just right, I'm not soft to touch.
I complain and whine and don't listen to you.
What else makes me horrible? What more will you do?
You show me you can better yourself without me
I'm not what you need, I'm not a beauty.
You won't take me out, I've ruined that chance.
I'll never be the one with whom you'll dance.
You tease me with proposals but say you' won't ask
Because I'm just not good enough, I can't do the task.
I don't know what else I can do, my love.
I wish you could see what I truly think of.
I'd gladly lie down on the line for you
I'd stupidly give up all that I'm due.
But instead I'll just wait til your done with this game.
And I'll sit by broken hearted just being your dame.
