You warned me about your temper
I thought you were making a joke
I remembered your words months later
When my bones and heart you broke
Mostly you were quiet and gentle
You described yourself as kind
Nice, as nice, as nice can be
Until, you changed your mind
Then you became a monster
Cruel and without remorse
It wasn’t your fault, it was your temper
You’d warned me about it, of course
I don’t know why I took you back
When you begged and cried and pleaded
Maybe I felt sorry cos your life was so sad
Maybe, I wanted to be needed?
So then I had to pay the price
Of loving Jekyll and Hyde
It was a painful, brutal, mercifully short
Roller-coaster ride
I see you’re online dating,
Advertising for somebody new
You say you’re solvent, single and hot
The problem is, you’re still you.
