This Is Not Love (Beauty & the Beast)
All the riches are back
but he has left
The man I used to know
For no deeds I do
Will make him return
With him, I no longer grow.
It is not that he is cruel,
Nor strikes me
It is not that he screams.
It is more like I'm a possession to him,
A possession no one else should see.
All the riches are back,
But my man is gone
The man I helped to change
For no deeds I do,
No matter how good,
Will help his mind to rearrange.
I cannot speak to others
He is always the one I must choose
I wish I'd known that all I've done for him
Had only boosted his narcissistic views.
All the riches are back,
But my prince is gone
The prince I used to love
For he wished to break
His horrid curse
And therefore tricked me into love.
