LIVING IN THE SHADOWS


from the ABC set ROMANTICALLY INCLINED TALES - BAD LOVE

I finaly looked into the shadows
And saw where you live
Because I’ve reached the end
I have no more to give

I really loved you
And I thought you loved me
But it wasn’t love
That you wanted from me

You wanted control, of
My every thought and deed
You brow beat me and bullied
Until you got me to conceed

You've always been there
Behind my tears
Belittleing and undermining
Feeding off my fears

Deprecating me, correcting me
Telling me I’m wrong
Bleeding me until I am weak
Making yourself strong

But all those empty years
I just couldn’t see
I was blind to just how bad
You really were for me

But now my eyes are open
And I see the man within
Those dark days are behind me
And my new life can begin

No need to appologize I'm always happy to get a nice comment even if it was intended for someone else - Paul
