Death Or Healed


You are the one I treasure Yet the one who hurts me most I guess it's the wasy this cold world works You're the one who saw some good in me Where others just saw what they hate When I dissapoint you I'm hurt When you criticize me I take it When you won't look at me I cry When you're hurt I feel it too At night I cry out for relief I know this relationship isn't healthy I know its destroying me yet I stay I know you're no good for me But I've grown to need you so much I ignore the harsh words you speak Though inside it kills me I ignore the slaps the punches and the kicks Though physically it's destroying me I wish I'd know loving someone hurt this much I wish I'd known it'd destroy me I wish I'd known it hurt others as well But theres no time to think about that now As I lay in my coffin 6ft under
