Unlovable love
As dawn breaks I wake up anew
I cannot live this life with you
I cannot live with bars of steel
Unlovable love pray set me free
My nights are cold, my soul it weeps
I cannot rest, I cannot sleep
You want me but I fear as prey
I cannot live my life this way
You will not love, you will not leave
You will not be the girl I need
I cannot stand these hurting blows
Unlovable love please let me go
You must know this cannot go on
My body bruised, my bones are numb
You split my lip and tore my clothes
You’ve locked and bolted all the doors
You see so much that isn’t there
Did that girl smile? Did that girl stare?
Do you know her? I’ll bet you do
Another night of Hell for you
Your smile is but a cold façade
My keeper or my prison guard
Too long I've waited, stayed and prayed
Unlovable love, I will escape…
