I give too much away
And no one seems to stay
They say I'm in control
But that's never my goal
I'm selfish, that is true
All that I want is all of you
I hate to feel lonely
To feel like you disown me
I love to feel needed
But I'm often left mistreated
I've built a cage around my heart
But it doesnt keep me from falling apart
So many nights I lay awake and cry
Wondering why I feel this way, tell me why
As a kid I was deprived
Its a wonder how ive survived
I never saw how love was supposed to be
Instead it was a hand on her throat as she tried to flee
I remember all the yelling I heard
I should have done something but I didn't say a word
I wish she told me those three words, if only
I needed her love, but she wasn't looking closely
Is a child not a gift? Was I a mistake?
There's too much pain, too much at stake
I don't know how to change being this way
I was never taught to love the proper way
I thrive to find true love, to be married
But it seems that love is buried
