I sat quiet and bit my lip
Leaned in and clenched my fists
Blinked back the tears and gripped
The edge of my seat as you recounted
Every tale of the things he did
Every touch for his every whim
All ashamed but all for him
Just to feel wanted
Careful not to turn your back
You look around for a surprise attack
With every window painted black
In a new town that you almost trusted
Run from sleep for your haunted dreams
Fingerprints on your blood-stained sleeves
Look at who you said you’d never be
Just to feel wanted
Taking chances, backward glances and suggestions
(Backing away, our every touch is murder)
Dance to the tune of our immodest indiscretions
(We say we’d never really want to hurt her)
Reaching out hands to hold, blockade her convalescence
(So we disguise it to shame our neighbor)
If we shout loud enough, we’ll never learn our lesson
(And close our eyes and use our sighs to blame her)
What will we see when we’re confronted
What will we see when we’re confronted
What will we see when we’re confronted
With all we do just to feel wanted
