Try so hard but to no avail
It seems my acts are just in vain
Every time I bend over backwards
You kick me off my feet
Passive like a timid slave
I persevere 'til I nearly cave
But every time I willingly return
And all I want is to be loved by you
And everything I do is ignored by you
No one but you can take away the things that I love
It's a power you possess that I just can't bear thinking of, it's too hard
I let you into my head now I can't get you out
Every minute of each day and night my head is filled with doubt, such doubt
Isolated, I have no one else
Paralysed by my dependence
But still I try with all my might but why?
Wishing that I could break away
But my obsession forces me to stay
So complacent as you exploit all I am
And all I want is to be loved by you
And everything I do is ignored by you
No one but you can take away the things that I love
It's a power you possess that I just can't bear thinking of, it's too hard
I let you into my head now I can't get you out
Every minute of each day and night my head is filled with doubt, such doubt
Taking all that you can from me
Causing damage that only I can see
Simplistic mundane gestures that cripple me
You keep on magnifying my insecurity
And all I want is to be loved by you
And everything I do is ignored by you
No one but you can take away the things that I love
It's a power you possess that I just can't bear thinking of, it's too hard
I let you into my head now I can't get you out
Every minute of each day and night my head is filled with doubt, such doubt
