don't you understand
i'd rather work nine hours straight
than listen to your degradation
don't you understand
i'd rather have no free time
than fill it with your condemnations
don't you understand
i'd rather not be in the room
when you're talking about me like i'm not
don't you understand
i'd rather see my ex-boyfriend
than endure your emotional juggernaut
don't you understand
i'd rather trash everything to follow my dreams
than live the prepackaged life you've planned for me
don't you understand
i'd rather run until my legs go out
than endure anymore of your bigotry
don't you understand
the reason i haven't yet
is the love i still have for thee
