I am betrayer
I am fear and hate
I take life, love, and happiness
I give only pain

You are nurturer
You are sanctuary and love
You give beauty, adoration, and peace
You receive only disdain

I am man and I feel ashamed
I have scarred you and torn at your heart
I want only to love you but don’t know how
I pray for redemption, compassion, control
I ask for understanding, guidance, resolve
I need to hold you, to feel your embrace
Oh god how do I show you I’m willing to change!

You are woman and I shout your name
You feel love so deeply
You seem oblivious to pain
You shall not live long dear
You will forgive all!

I am the great deceiver
I offer only woe
My heart is so empty
I am tired of this game

You shouldn’t have done that
You cry and complain
You pray for forgiveness
You seek mercy again

I wish I could help you
I’m filled with great sorrow
I wish I could change
I’ve taken your life

But I feel your pain
