Welcome to my world
Meet my fear, and my sorrow
Promise me you'll spend one day
And then be gone by tomorrow
Let me tell you about love
And what it looks like in my eyes
See behind my concrete walls
Try to see through my disguise
Maybe I should warn you
Before you enter all my dreams
And discover step by step
That nothing is what it really seems
I know it might seem crazy
Joy and pain, hand in hand
But when you spend this day in my world
I am sure you'll understand
The day we met each other
My past of sorrow began to fade
I left my pain, and my fear
Together buried in the shade
You brought light into my days
Just by having you on my mind
Tried to ignore everyone saying
Be careful, this love will make you blind
I gave you my body, and my soul
With all my trust, without thinking
Thought I was floating on the waves
While, in the meantime, I was sinking
Sinking in a pool of lies
You pulled me in and kept me under
A sky first filled with sunshine
Changed into frightening rain and thunder
No matter how hard I tried to swim
To get my feet back on solid ground
I realised that I was lost
Love was nowhere to be found
Everything falling apart into pieces
Living in this fantasy
The world I created for the two of us
Became a world with only me
You seduced me, then betrayed me
Left me standing here alone
You turned my heart of flesh and blood
Into a cold place made out of stone
And still I kept trying to forgive you
Thinking I was the one to blame
Held myself instead of you
Responsible for my hurt and shame
How could I have been so stupid
Thinking that you really cared
While your body, not your soul
Was the only thing you shared
But finally, here I am
A whole new woman, smart and strong
Maybe you have never seen her
Though she was there all along
Let me promise you one thing
That, whenever you look at me
This woman filled with self respect
Is the only one you'll see
So honey, get out of my world
You can keep my fear and sorrow
I don't want you around today
And I don't need you here tomorrow
I'm sure you'll find another victim
But believe me, when you do
This time it will not take so long
Before the hurt comes back at you...
