Whipped
Wasted years of my life hoping you'd come around
Let me down every time I gave you another chance
Never wanted to lose you, but you gave me no choice
My options are limited
I am stuck in a battlefield.
You push me down when I try to stand back up
Hold your ears when I defend myself
Act as though you're the only one in my life
Holding on by a piece of thread
I am your puppet.
Make false assumptions to prove your point
Choose who my friends are
Tell me to get myself together
Looking so innocent as if I didn't know
I am not bulletproof.
You have your evil ways of getting me to listen
Locked onto you by metal handcuffs
Confusion and frustration cause me to forget
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot
I am hiding while you seek.
Blind to how I feel
Manipulating me into your abusive arms
Drowning me in your lies
Your dark eyes never close, even when we kiss
I am a dog on a leash.
Torn between danger and desire
Debating on whether to leave or stay
Bipolar emotions take a toll on my heart
Knowing I deserve better
I am taking a walk on the wild side.
