Pre-Arraigned Marriage

Would I have married either one if it wasn't for violent sex?
I wish the answer was simple, or even just simplex
I know that I'm a heebonistic paradoxical in a dress
But why is it when I gave so much I got back so much less?
I'm sorry you felt my shadow was cast for your oppression
You're the one who turned partnership into competition
All the painful things we went through and the terrible things that were said
Won't happen to me now cuz only professionals share my bed

Why could you never trust me, I'll never understand
I invited you both to share what I started but you needed the upper hand
So I relinquished my control to show solidarity
But you forgot whose songs and acumen made all of our money
The humiliation I felt when everyone else knew
You threw a party for me with all my friends that I wasn't invited to
Hey Mike why didn't you show up to party last night we all had so much fun
Because I didn't hear about it, or get an invite from anyone

Shame on you for shaming, for blaming covertly taming me
Filling my already troubled head with your insecurities
After all the magical years we shared and all the wonderful things we built
We're just cliché tragedies, such a lucid love now clouded with resentment and unrequited guilt
We still share the same dreams but not the same memories
What a damn shame it is
I still wanna be really clear about what I'm really singing of
It might be tarnished, it might be murky and muddy, but we always seem able to find all of the love

Love love love love love
We can always still find the love
(Love love love love love)
I always thought there would always be love
(Love love love love love)
Cause love is one thing I knew I could share
(Love love love love love)
It had the power to make me actually care
(Love love love love love)
It's the one thing besides pain that makes me feel
(Love love love love love)
Then someone asked how could I be sure that it's real
(Love love love love love)
I used to like to believe that our love was fate
(Love love love love love)
Til someone whispered to me you can't have love without hate
(Love love love love love)
When certainty and trust turns into fear
(Love love love love love)
That's when I saw true love just disappear
(Love love love love love)
When true happiness turns into despair
(Love love love love love)
I didn't forget about love, it's just easier to not care
