Only You

I actually wrote this as a song...

Only you can break my heart this way.
Only you can make me a pawn in your game.
Only you can make me want to leave,
when I should stay.
Only you can break my heart this way.

Only you can turn the sun to rain.
Only you can make me feel such pain.
Only you can make love feel like shame.
Only you can turn the sun to rain.

You have my heart in the palm of your hand,
and still it's hard for you to understand.
I'm still here and holding on.
But if it's like this, it won't be for long.

Only you can turn this thing around.
Only you can make me feel proud.
Only you can plant my feet on the ground.
Only you can turn this thing around.

Only you can break my heart this way.
Only you know what to make me say.
Only you can get my faith to sway.
Only you can break my heart this way.

Omg, I just love this! I can totally relate! It's such a horrible way to have your heartbroken. It just continues over and over by the one you love and they know exactly how to make you stay when you know you should leave but your heart just wont let you. It's such a vicious cycle and one so hard to break. Great write and please continue to do so!
