When you met him, you were lonely
He hid his game, appeared softy
At first, he was a gentleman,
But quickly things started to change
He began controlling you,
Playing on your insecurities
There's nothing you can undo,
But you wish you took the keys
He has manipulated you,
Made you think you weren't worthy,
And you thought that it was true
His soul was darker than coffee
He made you believe all kinds of things,
Cut you off from others, cut your wings
You didn't say "no" 'cause you were scared
And for all that, you weren't prepared
When he started hitting you
With more than just words,
You didn't know what to do
With a voice that wouldn't be heard
To him, it was always your fault
You should have been put in a vault
You asked for it, searched for it,
So why would would you complain about it ?
He took your dreams away,
Humiliated you in the cruelest way
He says he's sorry now,
But don't buy in, don't bow
Love's not supposed to hurt,
But no one told you so
Now the lessons are learnt,
And all's left to do is go
Sure, it would be easier
To fall right back into his arms,
But you need to have the courage
To choose happiness
I'd like to see you hit the road
With a guy who's not a fraud,
Who only hits you with love,
Feels like he is from above
You deserve the best,
Like everyone else
Convince yourself of that fact
And you will be alright
