Parental Guidance

How must i explain to my lover
That i learned to fight
By fighting with you.
And must i tell her i know
How to throw a punch
Because you threw the first one.
I wish she would never see
All the dark I have in me
Shall she learn to paint with blue
So she may understand my pain.
Show her all the subtle context clues
I bruise easily and honestly
I shall tell her
I learned to fight
By fighting you.
That i learned to throw a punch
Because you threw the first one.
