The Vow

THE VOW

You've given your vow "'Til death do us part"
But she's gonna take you for all you have
She's going to build a wall around your heart
So that she's all you'll ever have

She shields you from the world outside
You breathe her in slowly, fully.  You enjoy her.
You feel an instant release, a comforting high
Then suddenly you're filled with paranoia.

You're married to your addiction
She rescues you from all your pain
Yet she's your greatest affliction
She'll suck it all away from you
Anything you gain.

Quickly, she's starting to fade away
And you're worse than you were before
You impatiently prepare for another date
Now you want her even more

Too much is never enough for you
She's left you with this longing inside
You'll take all that she can offer you
She's all that gets you by.

You're married to your addiction
She rescues you from all your pain
Yet she's your greatest affliction
She'll suck it all away from you
Anything you gain.

I think it's time to divorce her
She's ruining your life
She's dragging you down to nowhere
You don't need her for your wife.

She's taken everything from you
The time has come to get it all back
Relinquish her control over all you do
And try to get yourself on the right track.
