It has been a long road we have walked side by side,For many years I sat silent while you lied.I allowed you to use me as an excuse to why things when wrong,Always listening to you and believing they wouldn’t last long.I loved you with every ounce of my heart and soul,Believing that you were the only one that could make me whole.But over the years you didn’t see that I was being crushed,All the while having to keep it hushed.You deceived me many times while telling me you didn’t know,Even with all the hurt I couldn’t help but show.Your lies about me cut deep,To hide the secrets you demand I keep.You made everyone believe I was the one full of deceit,That all of my actions will repeat.And silently I cried for the truth to be set free,Knowing this is the way it was always going to be.So I will take my identity back with extreme prejudice,And you will see Wicked and all her fierceness.The truth she reveals,Will forever change your ideals.My name is Wicked Obsession,My dignity is no longer your possession.

It has been a long road we have walked side by side,For many years I sat silent while you lied.I allowed you to use me as an excuse to why things when wrong,Always listening to you and believing they wouldn’t last long.I loved you with every ounce of my heart and soul,Believing that you were the only one that could make me whole.But over the years you didn’t see that I was being crushed,All the while having to keep it hushed.You deceived me many times while telling me you didn’t know,Even with all the hurt I couldn’t help but show.Your lies about me cut deep,To hide the secrets you demand I keep.You made everyone believe I was the one full of deceit,That all of my actions will repeat.And silently I cried for the truth to be set free,Knowing this is the way it was always going to be.So I will take my identity back with extreme prejudice,And you will see Wicked and all her fierceness.The truth she reveals,Will forever change your ideals.My name is Wicked Obsession,My dignity is no longer your possession.
