was out shopping with my new one
forgot about the last one and the one before
But i didnt forget about him
It's not been many months since then
but many faces, kisses, other men
One a week on perscription
they will numb your pain
take one home, let him ease your pain
and when the sun comes up you leave
it was true love for that one night
but it ended, you're walking down the street again
walking home again on your own
passing by his bouse, passing by him
there he was, he didnt look away
you turned your face, afraid he'd see
maybe there is peace in his eyes
some sort of sympathy for you
standing there like he does in your dreams
holding you, whispering sweet words
"Why do you go back to him each night
he hits you, never treats you right
look at you, youre broken and bruised
what does he do to make you stay?"
those were the words that he spoke
the words that i heard
memories now fom years ago
why i stayed, only i know
one night i came to him in his dream
i stood infront of him, as i was
and told him the truth
told it all with tears in my eyes
"I loved him. I hated him.
I loved you and you left me
he was my best friend
he knew how i felt
some nights i came home, i cried
he'd shout at me, hit me hard
paint my body blue and black
he'd make me shake and curl up
then he'd come hold me
tell me how sorry he was
i'd spit in his face, run away
slam the doors, scream at him
we hurt eachother, hated and loved one another
we'd make love together
all night we'd comfort the other
afraid of the morning, driving us apart"
and that was why i never left
he never hurt me on the inside
he loved me more than himself
i loved him for who he was
we loved eachother in the dark
in the daytime we were strangers
i flirted wildly, spun head when i walked
he worked hard, looked to his task
we were completely different
yet one and the same
each holding the others broken heart
so close, yet we were worlds apart
