Maybe I was the *******
Maybe I did everything wrong
Maybe each day that passed
Sinking deeper into despair
Was my making
My fault

Maybe the bottle chose me
Maybe I choose to hurt myself
Putting up with you
Your lying,  twisting of words
Before the punches
Came clearer signs of neglect

Maybe you were the one
That fought against truth and love
Maybe you were Lenny
And I was the mouse
Maybe you were too controlling
And I was too caring
