He slapped me And it bruised But honestly I shouldn't have said that I pushed him again I shouldn't have tried to tell him to quit Because fixing him isn't my job I'm supposed to love him through everything and I do I do The words that started it all I do But I didn't Understand the situation But now I do And it's okay He wasn't always like this It's just the things He chooses to consume It's not a choice It's an addiction And besides the makeups already done And the bruise is already hidden It's fine We're fine He's fine This is fine
