You love me
You love me You love me? Tell me one more time why you tried to hit me And told me I was stupid Worthless Nothing Yeah, you love me, right? You care so much about what I do That you lock me in at home Take my keys and tell me It’s for me It’s so that nothing’s wrong I’m safer with you So much safer with you And your words Your hands Those hands that use to cradle me and put me to sleep Those hands that-- Those hands that hurt me last night Those hands that went around my neck and squeezed Tight Yeah, you love me, though Right? Don’t tell me you fucking love me Everyone’s saying those goddamn words like they don’t know the meaning This affection that you have? It’s killing me Don’t tell me you love me because-- Because most of the time I still love you And when I think about what you do What you’ve done My throat closes up because-- Because I’d never do that to you I love you I really do Wait, no In the beginning, the person I met I didn’t know you The hard part is letting go But now I know And because I love myself I’m letting you go I’m going to get myself someone who will listen Not only tell me they love me, but show it They won’t touch me without my permission We’ll talk about our days Talk about our frustrations We’ll compromise Sleep soundly at the dead of night Imagine that Actually having a conversation without yelling Without having to get offended by the simplest things I always wondered how many curse words you could fit in one sentence I still don’t know You’re intoxicating, even when you’re helping You tell me I’m a fucking baby! Well, who’s the one cooking? Cleaning? Acting like your mommy I’m going to get myself someone who will appreciate me Is kind to me And show me what a healthy relationship is You should already know why I’m leaving But since you always need an answer for everything It’s because (laughably, really...) You love me
