He told me he loved me today

He told me loved me today

He told me he loved me today

Last night, we had our first fight as a married couple

He said things he shouldn’t have, words that hurt me,

you know? the usual

But he apologized, he said he’s sorry and I know it’s okay

Because he told me loved me today.

He told me loved me today

Yesterday, our fight escalated

He threw me into a wall and bruised my arm

But it’s no big deal, he was just frustrated

And I know it’s going to be okay because he told me he loved me today

He told me he loved me today

But I don’t think he means it,

Because you don’t hurt someone you love, right?

He threatened to kill me when I threatened to leave

It felt like a nightmare, but you wake up from nightmares, right?

It’s all going to be okay, because

he told me loved me today

He told me loved me today

He told me he loved me as he scratched my arm and twisted my wrist

What type of love is this?

I’m trying to let go, his grip is tight

But today I realized

I must fight.
