I know that you are wrong,
But I convince myself you are right,
You are that haunting shadow,
Hidden within the light,
I sometimes feel weak,
And that is when you’re there,
Grabbing hold of my hand,
Pretending that you care,
You show me joy,
And how easy things could be,
How simply I could get them,
Yet I still never feel free,
You get into my mind,
And take control of my thoughts,
Against you I feel powerless,
Like I’m in a fight that can’t be fought,
I try to escape,
But your grasp tightens around me,
I let out a scream,
But I can’t even breathe,
I am your prisoner,
At your beck and call,
Pleading for freedom,
Or just waiting for your fall,
Without you I feel hallow,
But with you I feel trapped,
I don’t know which is worse,
Because either way I am cracked,
I wish that I was strong enough,
To go on my own,
Without you by my side,
Why does it hurt to be alone,
I swear one day I will do it,
Break free from these chains,
Free to control my own life,
And no longer feel this pain,
You are temptation,
And I hate you so,
Why is it so hard,
To just let you go
I know that you are wrong,
But I convince myself you are right,
You are that haunting shadow,
Hidden within the light,
I sometimes feel weak,
And that is when you’re there,
Grabbing hold of my hand,
Pretending that you care,
You show me joy,
And how easy things could be,
How simply I could get them,
Yet I still never feel free,
You get into my mind,
And take control of my thoughts,
Against you I feel powerless,
Like I’m in a fight that can’t be fought,
I try to escape,
But your grasp tightens around me,
I let out a scream,
But I can’t even breathe,
I am your prisoner,
At your beck and call,
Pleading for freedom,
Or just waiting for your fall,
Without you I feel hallow,
But with you I feel trapped,
I don’t know which is worse,
Because either way I am cracked,
I wish that I was strong enough,
To go on my own,
Without you by my side,
Why does it hurt to be alone,
I swear one day I will do it,
Break free from these chains,
Free to control my own life,
And no longer feel this pain,
You are temptation,
And I hate you so,
Why is it so hard,
To just let you go
