I gave you control, I let you mess with me like a puppet on a string
you controlled every aspect of my life, made me afraid of sleeping and afraid to wake up
you fed me lies, and I believed them
I did what you said but you still hurt me
you held me there, I couldn't see you but I could feel your presence
and while I couldn't speak or move, I could feel you watching
and when you finally went away, you came back
I thought you were gone for good, but I was wrong
I sometimes lie awake afraid to sleep, afraid that you'll come back and hurt me again
