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
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

@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? It\'s really fucked up and I don\'t know if there\'s a way out. 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.
