Our love is like someone handed us lemons and we made orange juice, everyone sits there wondering how the hell we did it.

You have no idea what its like living with a monster
Everyday I feel like a goddamn boxer
Screaming all around
Getting punched to the ground
One difference for me
There are no fans for me to see
Only haters and yelling
When it will end there is no telling.
