On our first date, you told me not to fear
You said that you'd always be here
I let down my walls because I trusted you
But I had no idea what you'd put me through
Love is powerful, it kept me quiet
It blinded me, I couldn't fight it.
I wish that I just hated you
After all you put me through
My love was fogging up my view
Even when you'd never say you loved me too
I took it all, I didn't care
Since I was in love, I thought it fair
I opened up to you, everything I'd share
But I was always the one left bare
You were in my arms as I cried myself to sleep
After all the promises that you'd never keep
My sense of right and wrong would disappear
Every time that you'd come near
I'd always planned to tell you how I feel
So that, with truth, I could finally heal
I wish that I just hated you
After all you put me through
My love was fogging up my view
Even when you'd never say you loved me too
I took it all, I didn't care
Since I was in love, I thought it fair
I opened up to you, everything I'd share
But I was always the one left bare
You hurt me, you cut me deep
And so into me your poison would seep
With all the insecurities you faced
And all your punishments I embraced
Making me fall for all your lies
Until I could finally cut the ties
Love wasn't enough to keep me there
After all, I'll find someone who'll truly care
I wish that I just hated you
After all you put me through
My love was fogging up my view
Even when you'd never say you loved me too
I took it all, I didn't care
Since I was in love, I thought it fair
I opened up to you, everything I'd share
But I'm no longer the one left bare
