Too many times before
I've been hurt to the core
I may never show it
But I sure feel it

The pain that I've felt
The blows that they've dealt
The reason I still live
Why haven't i jumped off hte cliff?

But now, I 've found why
And I woin't lie
The reason is that I wait
For you at any rate

And I've frinally found you
Not sure what to do
But I know I love you
And I need you

No matter what
I'll wait for you
Through every burn and cut
I'm always here for you

Although, there is one
Thing that stands in our way
It makes me want to run
But your reason enough to stay

He ties my hands
Behind my back
Everything of me, he commands
how many years? I've lost track

He controls my life
My blood on his knife
Shaped by his words
Cut and slash like swords

Time and again I fall
But now I hear your call
And I get back up again
His poiwer won't bend

But when I turn of age
He will no longer have a grip
His hands and words like a cage
All start to slip

This war I've fought
Since I was born
I'm sorry you were caught
Your resolution may be torn

I never meant for anyone
To share this fate
But you stold my hear
I afraid its already too late

Ignorant at first
Blind to his thirst
At first, I'd thought
I'd found a way out

But now, he's found
My one heart secret
He felt so proud
He took everything that he saw fit

And so it meant
He tood everything
He would not relent
My voice couldn't sing

He's always taken
Everything of mine
My fury many times awakened
He's always stepping out of line

My personality makes me
Outgoiung, active,
As some can see
But his claws become reactive

Rake me into his confines
There are always set lines
I wonder how many times
My freedom, privacy, was taken

I want to live
With a free will
I can't do what I want
I long to go, still

He being my cage
You my door
You set the stage
I'm on the floor

The few things I've ofund
To my liking
He sits there lazily lounging
Plucking them away from me

My sports
My risks
I'm on the ocurt
I use my fists

You've given me strength
You've given me love
You've gone to lengths
To give me the world

And you have
You've given me everything
But he laughs
That evil laugh

He will stop at
Amost nothing
He gives me things
But what I really wanted

Was genuine love
When I got that love
He wanted to take it away
He didn't want to let you stay

And for that I pay
For you pain,
In my pain

For you to love
Such as me
For you to love
A monster like me

I owe you everything
But in fact I pay nothing
But I add to the pain
When he adds to my limits

Giving me even less freedom
Although he doesn't know
all he can give me is pain
His actions are so low

But without you I am nothing
His evil immortal
You give me everything
His blows fatal

Remaining are two years
That seperate me from you
Filled with plenty of tears
Fill with a strong fight, too

But before then
I cannot leave
I'me stuck in this cage
If you want you can leave

I shall see
In these next years
What becomes of me
Time noit near

Will I be torn
Or  a love reborn?
Given to such a monster
As me
