Why be in a relationship
Where it seems like things just don't work out?
Why be in a relationship
Where you always have to try & work silly things out?
Why be in a relationship
Where you feel as if you are always causing problems?

I'm not going to sit here and constantly blame myself everytime
Because I hate too see you down when I fuck up.
I'm not going to constantly have you annoyed with me
Because I get mad at you.
Because somehow some way, something always gets said
And we end up feeling a type of way.

Have you ever gone through a "same shit, different day" sccenario
Everyday for a good two months?
You wouldn't understand the struggles we go through.
But upon hearing or reading this, you'll probably wonder
So why do I stay?

If someone asks you why you love them, you shouldn't be able to explain.
Love knows no boundaries.
It can also make you do & say things you've never thought possible.
Hiding weed for your boyfriend even if there's a chance that you might go down with him when the feds come knocking.
Hiding the bruises every few months ..to every few weeks..to every few days.
Because you love her and you believe she loves you.
You say she's just going through things but she cares about you.
She apologizes every time and promises to stop.
And you stay.
No one on the outside will ever understand.

Why stay in a relationship
Where you don't know what tomorrow will bring?
Where you fear to remember yesterday in spite of angering her?
Where you tiptoe around so as not to stir her up?

Unless you've ever been in my shoes,
Don't question me.

The good times weigh out the bad by a million times.
But when you think about the bad,
You really wonder to yourself,
"Is it that bad or am I just imagining this?"
