Baby Don't Break My Heart Slow
I like the way you wanted me
You chose me over Starfire. You were always finding ways to make me feel special. I love that about you. You make me feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
Every night for so long, baby
We still lay together every night. You hold me tight and I hope that you never wake up and realize that I'm not good enough for you.
I like the way you needed me
You act like you can't live without me. But you will realize that you will be better off without me. One of these days you'll realize it. And I dread that day with a burning passion.
Every time the things got rocky, yeah
We've had our fights, and we've each won a few and lost a few.
I was believing in you
When you told me that you loved me and would never leave me, I believed you. I was hanging onto your words like they were the air I need to stay alive.
Was I mistaken?
I found you and Starfire alone in her room. Your back was against the wall with her hands around your neck. "Robin, please tell me this isn't what it looks like." When you didn't immediately answer I walked away and locked myself in my room for the night.
Do you mean,
Do you mean what you say?
When you say our love could last forever
You came to my room and pounded on the door when you found it locked. "Raven, it wasn't what it looked like! I love you…I swear, it wasn't what it looked like."
Well, I'd rather you be mean
When I ended things between us you turned cold and distant.
Than love and lie
Was it always a lie? Did you mean anything you said?
I'd rather hear the truth
Than have to say goodbye
I never asked for the truth, but I could see it in the way you acted around me.
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
The team thought it was a mutual thing, but when you drew your hand back to hit me everyone realized the truth. Cyborg had to step in because I couldn't bring myself to go against you.
I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long, baby
I still remember how you use to hold me at night. You use to always pull me flat against you, back when we fit together perfectly.
I like the way you'd sing to me
Every time the things got rocky, yeah
I miss the songs you would sing to me. You'd only sing for me, no one else. It always mad hard times easier.
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken?
I always use to believe you when you said you loved me.
Do you say,
Do you say what you mean?
When you say our love could last forever
You said we'd be together forever. "Forever and always Rae." What happened to forever?
Well, I'd rather you be mean
Than love and lie
I'm better off avoiding your now short temper. It's easier than trying to live in a lie where I blindly believed every word that fell from your sweet lips.
I'd rather hear the truth
Than have to say goodbye
I won't say it out loud yet, but I know you never loved me like you said you did. And looking back I'm glad I said goodbye even though I still miss you.
I'd rather take a blow
At least then I would know
It was hard to see you move on to someone else, especially when you couldn't bear to be in the same room as me for more than a few minutes.
But baby don't you break my heart slow
I asked you once, a long time ago, to promise not to hurt me.
Oh, yeah, yeah
"So why did you break my heart?"
