You did this to me.

You did this to me,

I clench my fists and stand,

Confronting you, I am the hate I feel,

You did this to me.

I let my eyes start fires in your equal stare,

I see you wondering why I've come.

But although the hate I feel is for you,

In every other way, it's not.

I had to see you, there's no other way,

Face your fear, your foe,

Your temptation.

It was right for me to come.

So there you are, stood evenly before me,

Neutral, but daring me to take that step.

Just one small step towards you, away from him,

Oh what would one small step do?

You did this to me.

Now I stand in confusion,

But you're still there.

Everything I don't have, everything that's wrong,

Yet still I'm drawn towards you.

I love him. Can't you see that?

I love him.

Yet there you'll always be,

The Other Man, i couldn't have.

Yet I want you.

Perhaps I need you,

I need the temptation to escape,

Although I've seen the consequences before,

And I only just got my old life back.

Oh, sweet confusion!

You did this to me.

So, if you are there just to be that one,

That Other One,

Who always reminds me of that decision I made,

To run to him.

Away from you.

So, if you are there just to be that one,

Why can I not tear my eyes from you?

Why do I need you as much as I need him,

Yet hate you for making this so hard.

I stand, confronting you,

Hating you, hating me.

Wishing I knew what to do.

You did this to me.
