What can I do?

Mary Helen Trujillo 1987 (Colorado)

You've hurt me once
You've hurt me twice
But still I stayed
And paid the price
Of a heartache Of a love
Of someone whom I won't give up on
But still you keep on hurting me
So now I decide to take my leave
I'll leave you to your life
And soon begin my own
Still you've got this hold on me
That just won't let me leave
What can I do
to prove my love to you?
