You say you want to love me
But what do you know of loving
But pain and anguished suffering
Will you reject me when I’m happy
Will you discard me when I’m sad
I’m a wild animal and
You are still a man
If I let my guard down
You’ll see everything
Who I used to be
What was taken
For nothing
For nothing
But another’s soul tormented
And I accused of oppression
I’ll destroy you
I’ll destroy you
If I love you
God I want to
Because love is bad
I learned it was bad
How dare I be good
How dare I be valiant
How dare I be there for my man!
