Love shouldn’t hurt this much

Love shouldn't hurt this much

I told everyone that they were wrong about you

That they didn't know anything about the real you

I thought the way you treated me

Well, that that was how love truly was

My friends left me, and you convinced me that I didn't need them

You smiled and said that all I needed was you

You never hit me

But your words did more damage than a fist could ever do

I told you I'd never leave you

And you took advantage of that

You lied, you used me for my body

Then tried breaking up with me after I drove a full day to see you

The worst thing was, you told me it was all my fault

That I screwed up everything

I even blamed myself for awhile

Then you decided to send me threats

And have your friends smear feces all over my car

The spell you had over me finally broke

Your charm was just deceit

I just feel bad for the next person you do this to
