I saved my life, <br />but sold my soul, <br />I've broken down, cried <br />and lost control <br />I stood there screaming <br />at the top of my voice <br />Angry, exhausted, <br />but I don't have a choice <br /> <br />So I've surrendered and <br />thrown the towel in <br />You stood the triumphing, <br />with a big, fat grin <br />But winning was not enough, <br />not for you <br />You wanted me to suffer, <br />there was worse I'd have to go thru <br /> <br />You're changing places <br />of good and bad <br />The lot I could have <br />and the little I had <br />But you're not the kinda person <br />I want to fight <br />So I turned my back on you <br />and swallowed my pride <br /> <br />I'm no longer rueful <br />or afraid of you <br />You've made a mistake <br />and one day you'll pay your dues<br /><br />jools England<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-saved-my-life-but-sold-my-soul/
