Under Your Spell Lyrics
You're a story that I hoped I'd never have to tell
You're a lesson that I wish I'd never learned so well
After all my years of giving up and letting go
All I wanted was to give you what you've never known
I know now
You can only hurt me cause I let you get to know me so well
I know now
I love you cause only you can turn my heaven to hell
I know now
I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
You're the promise that degraded every hope and dream
You're the whisper at the end of every hopeless scream
After all the years of turning love to empty rage
All you wanted was for me to help you turn the page
I know now
I didn't see the bruises that I should've seen the first time I fell
I know now
No one will listen to the story that I have to tell
I know now
I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
I know now
I only loved you cause I knew you'd never treat me so well
I know now
I loved you because through you I've become somebody else
I know now
I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
You're a lesson that I wish I'd never learned so well
After all my years of giving up and letting go
All I wanted was to give you what you've never known
You can only hurt me cause I let you get to know me so well
I know now
I love you cause only you can turn my heaven to hell
I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
You're the whisper at the end of every hopeless scream
After all the years of turning love to empty rage
All you wanted was for me to help you turn the page
I didn't see the bruises that I should've seen the first time I fell
I know now
No one will listen to the story that I have to tell
I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
I only loved you cause I knew you'd never treat me so well
I know now
I loved you because through you I've become somebody else
I want out from under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell
Under your spell
I'm under your spell

Crushes are often compared to spells, but emotional abuse and manipulation are often confused with love. The song is quite recent, but it's like a story that identifies my situation as a teenager. I was the victim of an improper relationship with an adult at my 13 years. It wasn't a romantic relationship, although at that time I thought it was. Initially I was "in love" so I could not see all the alerts that were raised, as the relationship progressed and more things began to be dangerous I began to think that I should continue with that adult because "I loved him" and love supports everything. And they may wonder, how can anyone feel love for a person who only hurts you? Well, it is impossible, but at that time part of his game was to make me believe that for love I had to endure his actions and give him everything he wanted. At the end of the relationship, I stopped feeling love, I began to see all the scars and alerts that I had ignored and I felt fear, I can compare this fear with a spell under which I could not react, I was afraid that when I left he could look for me and make me more hurt. Today, many years later, I'm still afraid of him even though I haven't seen him. The experience follows me like a ghost with a story that I am going to tell today. My life is free of him, but his spell in a way is a trauma that will accompany me throughout my life, It take something from me that I can never recover. I am grateful to know how people should not treat me now for that story of my past, although I would not mind having learned it in a less harsh way.
@RossMary So sorry to hear this happened to you. I guess we\'re all in this comment section since this song resonates with us. What I find is, if someone hurts us like that, they must be deeply hurt themselves and the way they hurt others looks like a cry for help. And then you feel even stronger for them and want to make up for all the love they never got. But often these people are so scarred they don\'t trust anyone\'s love. And then they\'re testing you how much abuse you can take and still not leave them perhaps?...

If they can\'t help themselves, no one else can either.\r\n\r\nI\'m glad you got out of it safely and no longer let anyone treat you like that. Just don\'t let smaller things slide either! Small things can seem like no big deal compared to abusive relationships of the past but still one should never endure such.

Correct lyrics:
You're a story that I hoped I'd never have to tell. You're a lesson that I wish I'd never learned so well. After all my years of giving up and letting go All I wanted was to give you what you've never known.
I know now you can only hurt me 'cause I let you get to know me so well. I know now I love you 'cause only you can turn my heaven to hell. I know now I want out from under your spell.
You're the promise that degraded every broken dream. You're the whisper at the end of every hopeless scream. After all the years of turning love to empty rage. All you wanted was for me to help you turn the page.
I know now I didn't see the bruises that I should have seen the first time I fell. I know now no one will listen to the story that I have to tell. I know now I want out from under your spell.
I know now I only loved you 'cause I knew you'd never treat me so well. I know now I loved you because through you I've become somebody else. I know now I want out from under your spell.
