Killin’ Raven by Melodie Yvonne
If you’d have come straight home from work
I wouldn’t think you’re such a jerk
Believe me wasting all my time
Is not a small victimless crime
If he can’t stand strong by himself
It’s a slippery road right straight to hell
So if you love him make him stronger
By not enabling him any longer
I’m just sittin’ here tryin’ to help you
But you gotta help yourself too
‘Cause you’re busy helpin’ demons
Empowerin’ them to take your humans
With all my love it’s truth I’m speakin’
Wanna help you fight your demons
But my love for you ain’t different
Than your love that’s killin’ Raven
Let him stand strong by himself
If he loves you he’ll go get help
But if he doesn’t then let go
These hard truths I’ve come to know
And if he can’t stand strong himself
It’s a slippery road right straight to hell
So if you love him make him stronger
Don’t you help him any longer
With all my love it’s truth I’m speakin’
Wanna help you fight your demons
But my love for you ain’t different
Than your love that’s killin’ Raven
