Tainted Love
Take my tears, and that's not nearly all,
A heart once open, now builds a wall.
Don't touch me, please, I cannot stand the tease,
Your whispers like a breeze, once a comfort, now they freeze.
I love you though you hurt me so,
With every harsh word, my trust, it wanes slow.
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go,
Seeking solace in the night's soft glow.
Tainted love, a bittersweet refrain,
Memories linger, entwined with pain.
Yet in this departure, I find my gain,
For self-love and peace, I now reclaim.
