You

The chills up my spine
from your LIES, DIE DIE
leave me BLEEDING on the floor
the KNIFE in your left hand
as you walk out the door
left me to FALL into the DARKNESS
you WOULDN'T believe
trust me YOU were the CAUSE
CONTROL my thoughts, my FEARS, my life
make me HATE, make me DIE
make me DRINK away this PAIN
I NEVER wanted to stay
at this PLACE you call LOVE
HELL, PAIN, SUFFERING
please KILL me
I HATE YOU!
