Control

You don't want me to do anything, it seems,
and you're constantly and viciously blocking the path to my dreams.
Isolate me from all that I know,
and when it's mentioned you tell me to just go.
But I highly doubt it'd be that easy,
as you're always reminding me of the ones who "need" me.
You'd never say that person is just you, it's almost like a rule,
and you don't even realize it when you're being cruel.

You look at me like I'm something you scraped off your shoe,
you seem to get a kick out of telling me what to do.
You have this way of putting me down,
but you make it no harder for me to stand my ground.
Trying your hardest to break me,
you have no idea that your actions hardly shake me.
You constantly judge, yell and berate-
but all you're doing is forcing our love to abate.
You never, ever admit when you're wrong,
it's as if being right makes you all the more strong.

I gave you my life, my love, and my heart,
and all you're doing is tearing them apart.
I gave you my world, my everything, pure and true-
and everything you do is ripping it in two.
Chipping away at my very soul...
But enough is enough, I won't allow you that
Control.
