punishment

Broken boys
Track me like prey
They feed off my empathy
Check off my boxes
Hold me hostage
No escape, that's what you made me believe

My voice cracks
But I speak up
With tears falling down my cheeks
How is it my fault?
That we played our parts
In destroying this fantasy?

He may never learn to love
But I had to learn to forgive
He can pretend I don't exist
But I can't forget what he did
And I may never get an apology
But he could have had all of me
And that's punishment enough

All those scars
I let him touch
Showed him how they made me bleed
Rose colored vision
Addicted to him (and)
I needed the pain like air to breathe

My eyes opened
I saw his truth
I didn't have the strength to leave
He gave me no time
To learn all my lines
Instead left me alone to grieve

He may never learn to love
But I had to learn to forgive
He can pretend I don't exist
But I can't forget what he did
And I may never get an apology
But he could have had all of me

Can't get out of bed
Left me for dead
Who's gonna love me and mean it?

Is this all that I'm worth
I put him first
Again, I'm on my knees and pleading

I would never try
To change his mind
He chose the life that he needed

If that - that isn't me
Who would it be?
Who's gonna love him and mean it?

That's punishment enough
