Battle Cry

You said you don’t love me anymore
With bags packed you ran out of my door
But I saw you turn back and look to see
If I was still there watching you leave

You said that you live in France one day
Make films, then you’d move on to LA
So that’s why you have to go
Like the life of Marilyn Monroe

And this is my battle cry
I scream almost every night
I’m fighting the tears inside
my heart still longs for you

Yes this is my battle cry
the pain it intensifies
Cos without you by my side
I’m lost and broken

I’ve lost friends who’d told me I must move on
Who held out their hand when you were gone
They said only time will heal the pain
They said what you did was inhumane

Your head it was full of self-love and pride
Of what you said you deserved in life
But really a scared lonely boy dwelled within
It’s here that your downfall would begin

I’d shout and I’d scream till the pain was consumed
Till the hurt that you left was just a wound
But then as I turned and opened my door
You’d come back to me once more.
