All I did to you was love you hard, babe
Last time that I checked, that's not a crime
But I let you aim, I took your hits
I took the blame, I took your shit
But now I've had enough; I've done my time
I've been by your side from the start, babe
Hurting you was never my intent
You're drunk on payback, you play to kill
But then you say you love me still
It's hard to believe it was ever meant
Tell me, babe
Are my pleas for your mercy relief and soothing sounds
Do you enjoy shoving me, kicking me while I'm down
There's another side of you I wish I hadn't found
But you're in the past, and boy, I'm not turning around
Our highs are the highest that I've known, babe
But our lows, the lowest that I've seen
What you claim's love feels like abuse
Once gentle touch now aims to bruise
Hope you learn for the ones who follow me
Oh tell me, babe
Are my pleas for your mercy relief and soothing sounds
Do you enjoy shoving me, kicking me while I'm down
There's another side of you I wish I hadn't found
But you're in the past, and boy, I'm not turning around
Thank god you showed me
What you could be
Before I got in too deep
Oh tell me, babe
Are my pleas for your mercy relief and soothing sounds
Do you enjoy shoving me, kicking me while I'm down
There's another side of you I wish I hadn't found
But you're in the past, and boy, I'm not turning around
