The One Thing You Know

Can you feel the pain you cause within me
Are you a sadist who wants to feel everything
Is pain your stronghold the place you live
The one thing you know

Why do you destroy the life around you?
Is it because you don't want to live?
Or because you do?

Quit hurting before I hurt you
I can't take this anymore
And not from you
It won't be this way
So stop the pain or I'll stop you


Can you not stand the beauty you see within me
Do you like to hurt and like to hate everything
Does it help you to destroy the place you live
The one thing you know

This is my life to live and I want to
I want to be free of you pain
I won't play your games

Quit hurting before I hurt you
I can't take this anymore
And not from you
It won't be this way
So stop the pain or I'll stop you


Bridge:
Feelings shouldn't be felt this way
Life should hold freedom, not pain
So go away and leave me
Let me live, let me stay sane
Cause the way you make me feel results in blindness
And it makes me want to hurt you too
So please, let me feel the way that I want to
Not like you

If you choose to live this way without me
I won't continue to be controlled every time
You can be here all alone at the place you live
The one thing you'll know

Loneliness is what you cause by hurting
So I hope you enjoy being alone
If you won't stop
I will

I wrote this two years ago at a writing retreat. I still need to chord it for my guitar.

    All right! Another wonderful song from a very talented poet!

    The savage beauty of this song is thrilling... I don't know what to say! You've rendered me speechless, except for gibberish. What in the world is a writing retreat. I know what a singing retreat is, but not a writing retreat...
