Twisted
You must love it when she screams
And cry, and bleed
With one hand in her hair
And the other in her spleen
You probably love the way you feel
A man, a king
With another in her bed
As she stares, weeping
You supposedly hate the things you've done
Your apology so sincere
Afraid of what's to come
Her leaving is what you fear
Those tears on your cheek
Stolen from your prey
You manipulate to get empathy
So you could 'love her' another day
