In the Palm of Your Hand

I remember the day that you sealed my fate
I remember the day that I knew my life would change
It was a cold winter day that you ensured you're safe
But after that day I never was the same
You pulled out every stop to make sure that I'd never leave your side
You forced me to stay with you, you forced me to live with all your lies

And now the memories haunt me every night
The nightmares keep me awake and full of fright
Your manipulation reminds me of all the times I let everything slide

You stole my soul away from me
You took my happiness and killed everything that could ever make me whole again
That one day that you had me in the palm of your hand

I remember the drive home where I felt all alone
But trapped with you and feeling so confused
The tears strolled down my face as I pondered my mistakes
And all the while you sat and smiled
You knew I wouldn't leave so you didn't hold back a thing
You forced me to be everything that you dreamed
You said all you could say, remorseless and with hate
And after that day I never was the same

This day, I still don't know the reason why I stayed
The times I think of you I feel the pain
And every moment with you I threw away
You'll never hurt me again

I still can't believe I didn't leave right then and there, but I was so confused
I didn't know if I wanted to stay
I thought that this is what love could be

I remember that day that I knew my life would change
I remember that day that I never was the same
