Honey & Vinegar

You say to treat them with respect
You don't know what they do to me
Screaming and fighting but they forget
It's like you're blind, you just don't see

Everything they do, you just don't care
You could watch them burn it all down
You saw him throw me over there
And I'm still the one that drowns

Then you ask me why I'm mean
And I laugh every time you see
Because it's all on repeat
He did the same to me

You don't treat a wound with salt
You don't fix a broken mirror with tape
You tell me it's all my fault
That I need to be patient and wait

But the things they do to me
Hurt so much but you don't see
All the pain that I feel
Can't be fixed with honey

Let me be a bitch to protect myself
Even if it's pointless, fear is there
Pounding on my chest, not good for my health
And you know none of this is fair

You say he feels worse, he has it worse
But I do too, you just don't know
What's in front of you is a curse
Everything they do, it's just for show

Then you ask me why I'm mean
And I laugh every time you see
Because it's all on repeat
He did the same to me

You don't treat a wound with salt
You don't fix a broken mirror with tape
You tell me it's all my fault
That I need to be patient and wait

But the things they do to me
Hurt so much, but you don't see
All the pain that I feel
Can't be fixed with honey

Maybe I am that good of an actor
I should win a fucking award
As everything around me shatters
They're still the one that you adore

Then you ask me why I'm mean
And I laugh every time you see
Because it's all on repeat
He did the same to me

You don't treat a wound with salt
You don't fix a broken mirror with tape
You tell me it's all my fault
That I need to be patient and wait

But the things they do to me
Hurt so much but you don't see
All the pain that I feel
Can't be fixed with honey
