Just To Make You Happy

broken_dreams23

Go ahead and break my heart
It won’t mend, but you’ll still be happy
Tear it out and rip it apart
It will sting, but it will make you happy

Make this hurt, and make me cry
All these tears will be to make you happy
On the inside I’ve already died
Died for love, to make you happy

Lie to me, you know the truth
I’ll believe to make you happy
Bury me in an abandoned tomb
I’ll lay and waste, but you’ll be happy

I don’t know what to say anymore
My words just can’t express how I feel
I don’t know what to do anymore
I can’t find a remedy; my wounds just will not heal

I’ve given this my all, just to try to bring you joy
But you continue to play with me, like I’m your little toy
But this little toy soldier is broken, and can no longer withstand
The task of such melancholy that you place in my hand

I still love you, and I’ll pray
I’ll pray to God that you’ll be happy
I’ll continue to soak in this acid rain
I’ll rot for you, just to make you happy

    This conveys the hopeless, rather defiant sentiment effectively, by repeatedly emphasizing it is to make the recipient "happy." We readily call this bondage of misery love, and yet I question whether we really love the person. If we speak so ill of them, how can we really love them? And yet what keeps us there taking all the abuse if it is not love? Thought-provoking and seemingly not too uncommon a situation unfortunately in modern society. Truly as the Lord God says, we are "hateful and hating one another" and not infrequently in the name of love, oddly. My two bits. This excellently and poignantly evokes the miserable sentiment. Very good!
