Lyrics
Description
You put a camera on me while I was sleeping, That′s not care, that′s fucking creeping.
You stole my phone, left me cut off, Call it discipline, I call it loss.
You call me the problem, but look at the proof, Every rule you write, you′re the first to undo.
You call me cruel, you call me insane, But your mouth is a weapon and your love is a chain.
You say you love me — do you know what love is? After everything I′ve survived, you think this is it?
You call it shelter, I call it control, You ration kindness like it′s something you own.
If this is love, then fuck your claim, I′d rather bleed than bow to shame.
You ration soda like you ration air, Then break your own curfew without a care.
You tear through my things like they don′t belong, Then call me messy for getting it wrong.
You threaten nursing homes like you′ve won the fight, But fear isn′t family and force isn′t right.
You twist my pain till the blame feels mine, But I see the cracks in your righteous design.
You say you love me — do you know what love is? After everything I′ve survived, you think this is it?
You call it shelter, I call it control, You ration kindness like it′s something you own.
If this is love, then fuck your claim, I′d rather bleed than bow to shame.
Love isn′t leverage, it isn′t a cage, It isn′t a weapon, you swing in rage.
You say you love me, but look what you′ve done, You′ve mistaken control for affection.
You call it care, I call it abuse, You call it love, I call it excuse,
You call it family, I call it chains, You play the victim while I take the blame.
You say you love me — do you know what love is? After everything I′ve survived, you think this is it?
You call it shelter, I call it control, You ration kindness like it′s something you own.
If this is love, then fuck your claim, I know the truth, and I won′t wear your shame.
You say you love me, you′ve let your trauma rewrite the definition,
Turn love into leverage and mercy into a condition.
