If you love me


Love me Hold me Tell me things you would never do Keep me safe from the danger But you're the only danger To my heart WE promised we'd be together Even when rain is the only weather When the sun starts to fade Your hand will hold a blade Close to my heart and keep me caged You told you would never hurt me  You killed me Killed the person I once was Someone locked up as one Too many sides that you couldn't handle A flame on the candle That you blowed away You killed them You hid them You locked them up inside You told me it was childish And your smile grew wide My heart is bleeding out in pain That you would ever do this to me My tears keep coming down like rain Cause I thought you loved me Your claws grew deeper in my hair As you dropped me And went back into your lair I am drowning in tears Swimming is blood It feels like Spears But it wasn't enough You came back for seconds Beat me to a pulp Yelling at my face Saying that I was a slut I stood my ground Blocked out your words And continued to move forward cause it just too much It's impossible to hear That laughter we shared The cry that was there And The way that you cared You gave no respect to me, myself and I I was too much for you to hold by And it's not fine The way im breaking inside You gave no love whatsoever After that day You came back all disgusting Hated me for nothing I knew I had to get away You threatened to kill me To kill the ones I loved You threatened to kill yourself If I ever run I tried, i tried too many times To tell you That this is not love whatsoever We were so close to being forever Times have changed for us And now it times to get on that bus I'm sorry for the way you got cuffed It had to come Cause you had no love in you whatsoever but I will always remember the day you said "Hey Ruth, I love you forever'"
