I'm not playing this game anymore.
Too many times I've been left on the floor.
I've given you everything, still you want more.
Left me with nothing, don't know what it's for.
Beating me down just to settle the score.
You've broken my heart, my clothing you tore.
I'm last on your list, I'm less than a chore.
You called me a bastard, you called me a whore.
This lonely child that you left in the store.
The tables have turned from the hole that you bore.
Don't try to argue, no need to implore.
I'm not holding back, this time it means war.
I'll show no mercy or need to contend.
Your blood and hair in a pool will blend.
This one's for all of my life that you've broken.
Kept me locked up like a dog in a pen.
I'm not the same one you knew way back then.
Willing to do anything you demand.
Twisting my body however you bend.
Broken in two beyond ways to mend.
Searching for something that signals the end.
Careful around you, try not to offend.
Planning escape, but I just don't know when.
Turning the corner, you pull me back in.
I'm broken I'm broken.
