Fake Smiles and a Broken Spirit
[Abuse me, love, it's all I know.
I have no choice, no where to go.]
I know they've never liked you boy.
and they've realised all my fears.
All their words of warning, babe,
have fallen on deaf ears.
There's nothing they can do for me,
you've got me isolated.
You have complete control of me,
I've never felt this jaded.
[Scratch my skin and pull my hair.
Kick me down and leave me there.]
They ask us countless questions,
recite our alibi;
I've fallen down the stairs, mum.
She knows it when I lie.
Just tell me that you love me, now.
It's all I need to hear.
Baby, tell me that you're sorry.
All my hurt will disappear.
[It's tragic, our young so-called 'love'.
My cheek fits your fist like a glove.]
Paranoia and suspicion,
your temper and jealousy.
Of course it's always all my fault.
Again, left lying in agony.
These bruises fade to yellow,
these cuts turn into scars.
I stare at them in wonder
as I wish on lucky stars.
[Abuse me love, with another blow.
No strength to fight, I've sunk so low.
Abuse me love, it's all I know.
There's no escape, won't let me go...]
I have no choice, no where to go.]
