Love Turned Me, Love Turned Me Back My life was so frightening a struggle to survive and not cry I had no friends and no family I was in agony, just waiting to die * I was running to the left and fighting to the right There was trouble for me Always nothing in sight I was speeding along, I was singing a song I was never concerned with what's right and what's wrong * Then a woman came to me, out of somewhere She showed me how to love She showed me how to care She was my companion, my confidant Everything that I thought, that I could want * She was my roommate, my life She was my plans, my future, my wife I was running to please her, always fighting to keep Her love was a quicksand that had me in deep I was speeding along, I was singin' her song I was never concerned, that something soon would go wrong * Then my woman came to me with tears in her eyes She told me she was leaving and so tired of lies She had been listening, she had been hearing The words of my enemy, from my shadows appearing She was upset confused but convinced and was crying There goes my plans, my future, my wife, my life began dying * I begged her to listen and I tried to convince her I pleaded to God to help her remember How happy we were and how hard I had tried How much we have shared, cared, laughed and cried * She said that she checked, out some things that was said Hoping to find lies, but found only the truth there instead She walked out without saying, what she had found or even goodbye My life now again, became so cold and so lonely, so silent so dry * I sat there in silence, through the nights and the days My grip on reality : No longer it stays She took love away, She ripped trust from my being She walked out of my life and old demons were seeing * They sneak up so silent, They seep thru my skin They open my eyes and they ask, where have I been They punish me now, for needing her love They control every action, every thought I think of * The demons fulfill me, Kill me Rip out my heart and they heal me They raise me up to my feet They torture old love, They growl and they scream and they shove They force me to be this hate that my life is made of They rip my soul with their teeth * I am running to the left ; fighting what's right I am the danger, the air : I am slow death in the night I am drifting along, everything that is wrong I am the reason love will never last long
