Meet the love of your life,
He’s standing in an alleyway with a knife
He’s peeing on your clothes,
He tells you this is how all love stories go
He tells you he’s the only one who will ever love your crazy ass
He deserves a medal for the hell you put him through
Like expecting him to tell the truth
Meet your only soulmate,
In bed throwing a pillow over your face
You tell him you can’t breathe
He says it’s not abuse, it’s what you get when you yell and scream
He tells you he’s the only one who will ever love your crazy ass
He deserves a medal for the hell you put him through
Like fighting back when he’s insulting you
Meet the perfect boyfriend,
He tells you not to hang out with all your friends
‘Cause you belong to him now
Just like his car and the phone he purposefully broke
He tells you he’s the only one who will ever love your crazy ass
He deserves a medal for the hell you put him through
Like speaking up when he did not approve
Meet the love of your life
(fuck me, fuck me up, tell me I’m a slut) x4
