WHAT YOU DO TO ME

You gave me hope
Then you ripped it away
You loved me once
And then decided you didn�t
You coaxed out my secrets
Then used them against me
You promised me forever
Then laughed in my face
You were my reason to live
Then you left me out in the cold
You tore down my walls
And ran from what you found inside
I should hate you
For all the shit you�ve put me through
Yet I feel nothing but regret
Why am I still...
Missing you?
Wanting you?
Believing you?
You hurt me!
You shattered my hopes
You trampled my dreams
Yet I carve the pain
And the torment you bring
Like an addict deprived of their lifeline
No one knows why
But I can�t help but love you for what you do to me
