I really loved you - cared for you, too.
Why did you do it all over again?
I know I was a fool to be blinded -
By the mask which covered the beast inside.

When you swore that you wouldn't
you know that you did.
How much more of this pain must I keep taking
before I find what I must gain?

You say you're sorry - why should I believe?
How many lies before I should leave?
All the bruises and pain that I hid -
that was back then - I was only a kid.

You've made me see you for all that you are.
I know I'm better and I can go far.
Don't bother shouting - I'm on my way and how!
You won't stop me - I'm too strong for that now.

I want to be free from all my misery.
I've got to move fast, to escape from my past.
If all of you know of the life I have led
then you too can follow, and leave Him in bed.
