Ok, this one is a bit personal so I'll give a little back-story. I wrote this when I finally got out of a bad relationship and I was thinking about it. My ex was very emotionally abusive, and he got physically abusive only once (you'll only ever get one chance). It was pretty bad, and it was a hard part of my life, but it helped to forge me to who I am today (sans the furry part lol)

More about the lies of "love".
There was a band in the early Seventies called Mashmakhan, whose biggest hit was a song called "As the Years Go By", which has the absolute best capture of these ideas that I've ever come across. The partial lyrics are as follows:
A child asks his mother: "Do you love me?"
And it really means: "Will you protect me?"
His mother answers him: "I love you."
And it really means: "You've been a good boy."
...
At seventeen, his girl says: "Do you love me?"
And it really means: "Will you respect me?"
The teenage boy answers: "I love you."
And it really means: "Can I make love to you?"
There's a couple more verses and the chorus, but this is the gist of it...
