Painful Love

And she said, don't ever let your guard down,

because he waits in the shadows for your heart to scream out,

stay on your toes and don't let him catch you weak,

that softness in your heart is exactly what he seeks.


keep your mind busy so he can never get in,

he knows your every weakness, he knows your every sin.


He loves you he swears, like he loves to destroy,

love means to him, what love means to a small boy.


It's not the chase he wants, it's your heart he craves,

he looks for you to ruin, just when he knows you can't be saved.


Part of you wants him because he's all the love you know,

but he will never have to fight for you, because you'll never let him go.

Your heart still wants the love that turned out such a mess,

it's sad but true, that painful love is love nonetheless.
