Description
You don't understand, do you
How hard I work
To try to make something out of the pair of us
Something decent

You don't understand what I do
I do out of love
Maybe it would be clearer
If I showed you a darker side of me

Is that what you want?
To hear every bitter thought
Every barbed word tipped with venom?
I thought not

See how I've couched my thorns in patience,
My claws in control?
All for you and me
So we can leave this hell someday

No, I don't think you'll get anywhere without me
Not as you are, anyway
Not anywhere good
You're helpless, you'll starve

But you don't see--oh no,
To you I'm a villain
Even though I'm only looking out for you
You don't want me--so I'm leaving

Let's see how well you do
On your own
