*I never thought I'd change my opinion again

*But you moved me in a way that I've never known

I just had a sudden revelation-we must be soulmates. How else can this bond between us be explained? Not by reason- I should have killed you years ago. I told myself that you were just a tool, a means to an end, but then it all changed: you changed; I changed; the game changed; the rules changed; the world changed. Suddenly, your thoughts mattered, your opinions mattered, your touch mattered. It broke me.

*You abused me in a way that I've never known.

No one gets close, that's the rule. But for you I made an exception. I let you inside my heart, my head, my body. You tore through all three and watched me slowly bleed out. I let you beat me because I was desperate for your touch. You loved me with your fists and fucked me with your hate. You broke me.

*God don't you know I live with a ton of regret?

*But you hurt me in a way that I've never known...

I never wanted this; I never wanted you. The choice was made for me by a traitorous heart and a foolish body. To love a man who hated me was emotional suicide. My judge, my jury, my executioner, my damnation-how does it make you feel knowing that you defeated your nemesis with love, that you killed him with a kiss?

Congratulations. You broke me.

Break Me Shake Me, by Savage Garden.

I never thought I'd change my opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've never known
You moved me in a way that I've never known

But straight away you just moved into position again
You abused me in a way that I've never known
You abused me in a way that I've never known

So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone

So you're the kind that deals with the games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've never known

So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone

She says, "I can help you, but what do you say?"
But it's not free baby, you'll have to pay
You just keep me contemplating, that your soul is slowly fading

God don't you know that I live with a ton of regret?
'Cause I move you in a way that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that you've never known
But you hurt me in a way that I've never known...

Break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone

Listen, baby
You'll be, you'll be alone

Break me shake me hate me take me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate me take me
Break me
