Hurt Like This?

I make a joke about when he punched a hole through my door

Abbie looks concerned, I laugh it off, I’m pretty sure

That everybody’s boyfriends get real angry when they’re drunk

Raise their voice, boys will be boys, I’m not the only one

Hopelessly hoping he will change

He says it won’t happen again

The shit I’ve put up with

Yeah, cuz i love him

I can fix him if I stick with him and sacrifice

Right? Right?

Lately i’ve been wonderin’

If i should be runnin’

I know they say it’s hard work and love hurts

but … does it have to hurt like this?

He whispers that he wants me, I say “no babe not tonight”

Forgot that saying no becomes a guilt trip and a fight

Just turn around and close my eyes and pray that he’ll be quick

He’ll fall asleep, I’ll lie awake and feel so fucking sick

Everyone says he’s a great guy

But I’m terrified in bed at night

The shit I’ve put up with

Yeah, cuz i love him

I can fix him if I stick with him and sacrifice

Right? Right?

Lately i’ve been wonderin’

If i should be runnin’

I know they say it’s hard work and love hurts

but … does it have to hurt like this?

Maybe maybe I’m not the problem

Maybe maybe he’s got a problem

The shit I’ve put up with

I don’t want to love him

I can’t fix him if I stick with him I’ll lose my mind

My mind

Lately i’ve been wonderin’

If i should be runnin’

I know they say it’s hard work and love hurts

but … does it have to hurt like this?

Maybe maybe he’s got a problem

Maybe maybe I’m not the problem
