Bruised Hearts
You whispered in my ear
Songs of myself
And I was raptured
By your words
You held me to your chest
And I felt like I was home
You wrapped your
Arms around me
Squeezing the life out of me
and I thought that was love
You spoke to an empty room
Of complaints
And I was silent
My lips were sealed
By the glue of your hands
And I can't think
Of a reason
As to why
you had to rip my voice
From my throat
You screamed in the
Middle of the night
Of me
I'm the reason you do this
I'm the reason you're
Always so angry
It was for my own good
You have my best intentions
In your heart
But how can you help me grow
When you keep holding me down
And crushing me
The price of loyalty
Is a steep price to pay
When the only thing
You have to offer
Is your life
