It’s crazy how I’m cold on the inside but so warm on the outside hoping you can read between the lines!

How am I giving my all but, the grass ain’t greener on the other side.

But, the other side is where my heart died.

Dangerously in love with pain that comes with loving you.

Mistreated, misunderstood, misused and abused

but, still a fool for you!

Gave you my heart to show you I’m different from the other guys!

You played the same games on me as they once played on you.

I told you it is what it is, and it is what does, so what it do baby?!

Just trying to see that beautiful smile on your face!

Dangerously in love with the person who keeps breaking my heart into pieces. But, always giving me a reason to run back to her.

I keep giving you the benefit of the doubt that maybe you’ve changed and just maybe we’ll be able to work some things out.

Dangerously in love with you because no one plays better mind games than you!

Only using me to get over the guy who did you wrong!

My heart doesn’t beat any more because it’s dead and gone! There’s no way I can bring my heart back to life.

Dangerously in love with you and the pain that comes with you!

You can slit my throat and blow my brains out I’ll still be…

Dangerously in love with you! No matter how toxic you are and how poison your love is,

I’ll always love you.
