The Co-Dependant’s Anthem

[M604V]

Came across this song recently and man, she perfectly captures what it feels like for a co-dependent to be married to a pwBPD.

“Only the Lonely” by Danielle Ponder

Listen, darlin', to every word I say
I left you long before today
My sweet darlin', don't even try to sway
Love is lost and I must walk away

I know I've said it once before
But now I feel it more and more
I know I've said it once before
But now I feel it more and more

Only the lonely stay
When love's no longer served
The fire doesn't burn
They hold on so desperately

There's a truth in the dark
It's gonna break you down so steel your heart
"You don't love me, you just lonely, " that's what my mind say
Your daddy left you guilty, that's what you don't see

And I give up trying 'cause I'm feeling world's apart
And you'll never call it though you're staring at the clock
I know I've said it all before
But now I feel it

Only the lonely stay
When love's no longer served
The fire doesn't burn (doesn't burn, doesn't burn)
They hold on, so desperately (so desperately)
And only the lonely stay
When love's no longer served
The fire doesn't burn (doesn't burn)
They hold on so desperately (so desperately)

Listen, darlin', every word I say
I left you long before today
My sweet darlin', don't even try to sway
Love is lost and I must walk away

I must walk away
I must walk away
I must walk away
I must walk away
