Crissy Merano - Loving Your Enemy

The past is behind you, don't you dare look back
Or she'll find your weak spots and soon attack.
You let your guard down, you take it to the heart
Too late to start over, too late to restart.

She took your soul and read it from the inside out
She took your heart and gave you doubt
That you could no longer be happy with the life you live
Making you miserable making it harder to forgive.

She turned everyone against you losing everyone you had,
Announcing this to everyone like a newspaper ad.
She took your feelings and put them in the blender
Not knowing how they are soft and tender.

She was the cause of your sadness, the cause of your pain
Making every shiny day seem to rain.
They all found out about what you've done
Your suffering has only begun.

With every step you that you back away
She sneaks closer you as her prey.
She tells you your worthless and that no one cares
'I'll kill you, you wench! ' She proudly declared.

The moment you realize that you have the bigger heart
Tore her to pieces, tore her apart.
You take her hand, you tell her you love her
You see right through her, how she's so insecure.

She didn't say sorry, nor will she ever
But trust in your heart, that love is forever
It's more powerful than the hate in this world
You finally had the strength to love your enemy.
