In To Deep


Why do I stay when I could go?

The pain could all end, and the fights could stop.

I could spare the hurt and start off fresh.

But instead I stay and further the mess.

I get more abd more tangeled in his strings, when the pain is never ending.

Why do the words "I love you" make up for the bruises?

Why do a few good laughs shadow the despair i feel as I wipe the blood from my face when your mad?

Why do you treat me like trash when your friends are around?

And why can't I have any of my own?

Are you afraid I will finally wise up and leave you?

These games that you play are so confusing!

Sometimes, its like you find beating me amusing..

You tell me you love me and that it will never happen again, until it does.

You tell me I mean the world to you, and that you can't live without me.

But the truth is... im not living when im with you.

This pain I feel, the hurt you cause, the scars I have, the words you scream, the pain you enflict!

They can't always be covered by a little make up and a smile.

Im not even sorry, i have to quit allowing this.

It's time I start putting my life before your happiness, and I take care of myself.

Before you beat me till I'm gone for good.
