he says when he hurts you 

that he didn't know 

that he wouldn't have said it 

if he knew it'd be so 

but is that much better?

to spout cruel words of hate

and not even understand 

their damage and weight

he says he never meant 

for you to take it that way 

but does that make it your fault

does that mean you should stay?

he says it subconsciously 

that you're annoying or fat 

or a dress doesn't look good 

when you wear it like that 

and then when the tears 

seep into your eyes 

he says he doesn't understand

would you just rather lies?

sweet girl, sweet boy, sweetheart, I say 

you should leave him and go 

whether he means to or not

no person who loves you should bring you that low
