Because I'm Only Human

Sometimes it's sweet,
The way you make me feel only human,
The way you show me we're only human;
But sometimes it hurts,
The way you are only a man,
The way you make every other woman
Feels like they're only human.

Maybe it is best if you lie to me,
Tell your lies in enchanting melody,
Hide the truth with sweet symphony;
Because the truth hurts-
The truth will burn me before I'm even in hell,
The truth slashes my soft flesh slowly
Enjoying the moment before my tears come out shyly.

This torture is my addiction,
It's like crafting your name on my wrist,
Like tasteless pills,
Like burning liquid,
Like fire behind my tongue,
Like pain that makes me feel good,
I need more...

Why am I so attached to something so unpromising?
Why can't I stop hurting myself-
By stopping you from hurting me?
Why do I need you to corrupt my corrupted mind?
Why are you keeping me when you have too much?
I will never understand you,
Neither will I ever understand me,
Because I'm only human.
