Extortion Love
You wanna be my victim
But that’s not how it went down
I begged you not to crack me open
But you shattered me on the ground
And while my pieces still lay quivering
You moved in for the kill
And you justified and explained yourself
By your hunger for the thrill
Why don’t you tell the truth
At least face it for yourself
You said you took all you could get
You don’t admit the cost to anyone else
You were obsessed you said
Like that gives you full immunity
And you can’t be taken to account
For anything you took from me
And I can’t expect responsibility
Cuz you were out of your mind
And I was supposed to shoulder all the weight
That you crushed me with each time
Why don’t you tell the truth
At least face it for yourself
You said you took all you could get
You don’t admit the cost to anyone else
...You took what wasn’t yours
...You made me so complicit
...Then you play it like you’re the patsy
...As though you had been my victim
You never wanted to admit
The truth of your motivations
And how you threatened abandonment
If I didn't meet your expectations
I begged you not to crack me open
But you shattered me on the ground
And your extortion love was good enough

This is very good. It rolls off the tongue with a country music kind of flavour to it.
