This Isn’t Love
By Paige Makepeace
After all this time,
You’d think we’d be alright,
Yet you still manage to hurt and control me.
I’m trying hard to pick up the pieces,
And heal all of the broken parts of me,
But you keep hurting and controlling me constantly.
I keep hoping that you will change,
That you will release me from my chains,
You always claim that you love me,
Yet you refuse to release me,
What you do to me isn’t how you should treat me,
If you really did love me,
No, this isn’t love,
This isn’t love.
I wish you treated me better than you do,
‘Cause all I used to want was to be with you,
But now all I want is to break free,
From the hold that you have always had on me.
I keep hoping that you will change,
That you will release me from my chains,
You always claim that you love me,
Yet you always refuse to release me,
What you do to me isn’t how you should treat me,
If you really did love me,
No, this isn’t love.
I keep hoping that you will change,
That you will release me from my chains,
You always claim that you love me,
Yet you always refuse to release me,
What you do to me isn’t how you should treat me,
So I am going to finally set myself free,
Because this isn’t love,
No, this isn’t love,
This isn’t love.
