I'm Free

"Because I Love You" you told me

When I asked why I should stay

This little white lie controls me

I feel like running away

Away to a beautiful city

Far from things to do

Away from all of the pity

Most of all, away from you

This feeling should not be so common

When will this pain ever end?

I don't want to involve the lawman

Both body and heart on the mend

"Why would you stay?" they asked me

When listing the pros and cons

I live in fear of his glory

As though I've settled for bronze

The lie elicits fear and tears

Knowing I'll believe him again

I've fallen for this for many years

I can't let him fool me again

I've finally found the truth

After many years bruised and confused

These scars will remain from my youth

However, I refuse to be used

I've finally learned my lesson

I've finally gotten away

I've finally escaped your aggression

You've finally stopped begging me to stay

I know this will be hard for us

It shakes me to my core

There is one thing we need to discuss

"Because I Love You" can be no more
