I bend and bend,
You don't want me to break.
I've held on so long.
But really, for whose sake?
Life should say we're equals
And yet, somehow, we're not.
I try to bring life to everything
While you just let it rot.
You lord over everyone
Like royalty to their subjects.
You give out cruel, incriminating stares
As though we're guilty suspects.
All is fair in love and war
At least, that's what they say.
But what if love is the war...
And you're constantly caught in the fray?
My heart can only take so much
The limits already stretched.
I've tried so hard to make this work...
To say I've succeeded is farfetched.
You've grown cold and distant
I thought we once were friends.
But now I see I might be wrong...
Is this how it really ends?
I love you, I do. I really do...
And that's why I have to say:
You need to stop and reassess
Before you rue the day.
'Cuz while I may have been a doormat,
Always timid and shy...
I'm truly a lioness on the prowl
Patiently waiting to strike.
