I don't get it
He hurts me
She coddles him
He yells, screams at and blames me
Why is it ok?

I don't know the answer but I wish I did
I wish I knew why it's ok for him to get drunk night after night
I wish I knew why it's ok for her to 'forget'
I wish I knew why it's ok for him to blame me for his problems
Do you know the answer?

I just don't understand
I want to know why it's ok for him to push his habits on me
I want to know why it's ok for her to take her oversensitive bullshit out on me
I want to know how no matter what happens it's always my fault
Can you tell me?

He's depressed
She's hormonal
He's upset
I'm falling apart
What's wrong with this picture?
