You give, I take
You trust me, I betray
You build, I break
You want help, I say nay

You wanted comfort, I gave pain
You were free, Here come the chains
You were hurt, But did I care
You had control, Now its too late

You thought you were in Love, Look at your mistake
You thought you needed me, But I am your bane
You were forced to give to me, I was eager to take
You will one day re-emerge, But for now I reign

This happens every day
But what do we say
It happens, but not to me
To others, anybody but me
If you wish to stay free
Then stay away from me
Will there ever be a day
When we all can say
Enough with the abuse, okay?!?
