Ouch

Agonizing over every word I want to say
Controlled by fears and consequences of feelings I betray
Flinch because I wonder when
Elbowed in the head again
Minding my own business on the couch
And I’m ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch
Forgetful, regretful, I’m feeling your head full of doubts
«why do you like me?»
But I like to complain my low threshold for pain doesn’t help
Darling get off my knee
Flinch because I wonder when
Poked me in the eye again
Minding my own business on the couch
And I’m ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch
Well it doesn’t bother me quite as much as you think
I’m just extra sensitive after my second drink
And there’s nothing I can do because I’m constantly annoyed
These heavy conversations, abrasions I avoid
Flinch because I wonder when
Kicked me in the shin again
Minding my own business on the couch
And I’m ashamed that all I ever have to say is ouch
