With even the most epic love comes sorrow.
Bent and broken until no more can I take
Before I topple and break
Still in your eyes, I am so cruel
I must take my bad moods out on you
Seeing as how you do it too
You've screamed at me, you've told me to go
You've run away, told me to leave you alone
Still I chased you in the cold
No matter, love, this is getting old
My final hand - I fold.
I struggle through each day
To bring you the things you need
So you needn't worry, and you can be free
These awful things you say I do
All of it inspired by you
When you feel wronged
Its always my fault
I then become your enemy
You fail to notice what this does to me
I crumble under the weight of the world
It is no excuse
For me to act like you
I'll be rejected, I'll be neglected
My actions need be corrected
And I'll suffer in silence
Until the day you kill me
End my pain effortlessly
Nothing I do is ever enough
I've given you my heart, my soul, my love
But you still can't seem to rise above
The loneliness has already claimed my mind
And forced me to leave myself behind
No matter, love, you know I'll never leave
I need you like air to breathe
Regardless of what you've done, you see
I was not false to you when I said
That you are everything to me
Please, for my sake, get out of your head
And come to bed
I never had the slightest thought
That you would treat me this way
Look at me with such disdain
Even if I try to defend myself and say
I do my best, goddamnit, every waking day
You just come round and put me in my place
Slap me in the face
View me with disgrace
And spare me the pain
Of your words that cut so deep
Into the heart of me.

Love & Pain Intwine
I've done so much for youBent and broken until no more can I take
Before I topple and break
Still in your eyes, I am so cruel
I must take my bad moods out on you
Seeing as how you do it too
You've screamed at me, you've told me to go
You've run away, told me to leave you alone
Still I chased you in the cold
No matter, love, this is getting old
My final hand - I fold.

To bring you the things you need
So you needn't worry, and you can be free
These awful things you say I do
All of it inspired by you

You fail to notice what this does to me

It is no excuse
For me to act like you
I'll be rejected, I'll be neglected

And I'll suffer in silence
Until the day you kill me
