Love Gone Wrong

I thought you were my knight in shining armor
But you were the villain in disguise
Everything was going so well
I don't know how you became so demonized

At first you treated me like a princess
But then I became your slave
I did everything you told me to
And you never were amazed
I thought you loved me
It turns out I was in a daze

Next thing you know
You took away everything I love
I couldn't even talk to my brother
Because you were always jealous of
Me talking to any man
The reason why I don't have a clue

And after that
I was only expected to stay home
Or go to work
Just to come back to someone
Who would taunt me
Question everything I stand for
But I still thought I loved you
I guess I just didn't want to be lonely

So I decided to break free
From someone I've truly come to know
You weren't who I thought you were
So it's time to live my life on my own
