This is for You

He's made of ugliness and broken dreams
I am his whipping girl
They say that love should be tender and gentle
I love it more when it burns
I never wanted you to ever be gentle
I'm not a fragile doll
So bare it all, all your hatred and anger
I'll love you through it all

When he's broken my skin is thick
Tie me up with rope burns on my wrists
Use the whip until you feel again
While I burn with bliss
And when the feeling comes back again
I'll hold you through the fall
His arms of venom enclosed around me
I'll endure it all

I'll take the pain, and I'll take the shame
This is what I choose, this is my fate
No regrets, I am a part of this
I'm the part that helps you live
