You make me feel like I'm nothing
like I have nothing to offer you
My ears can't get used to you
constant criticism and the
contempt in your voice.
You used to adore me.

I can't do anything right in your eyes.
Every 10 things I do to try to please you
are wiped out by the one mistake I made.
I can't ever live up to your standard.
I'm not your ideal....anymore.
You used to like me.

You tell me lies a 4 year old wouldn't believe
until you see that I'm not really that stupid
and finally cop to the truth.
But, you expect me to trust you.
You trust me, but only since I've given
up the part of my life that didn't meet your expectations
You used to respect me.

I'm not aggressive enough for you.
My lips and fingers are never where you want them.
Yet, these same lips make the inside of you
explode so intensely you can't catch your breath
and shiver when I touch you 10 minutes later.
But it's too much for me to ask for a little lovin
before the lovin.
You used to want me.

I've changed and compromised for you...
for my love for you.
I've begged you to stay- me between
you and the door to our life.
I've sacrificed my pride and love
for self to earn another chance.
You convinced me I was perfect for you
before you got to know me.
I wish you had realized I'm not who
you want before I gave you all I have-
before I truly shared my life with you-
before this ring promised me we were forever.
You used to love me.
