I Don't Get It
I don’t get why when I’m wrong, I’m stupid
But when you’re wrong, it’s an honest mistake
I don’t get that I’m pick-me but you aren’t because you’re a “guy”
I don’t get why I’m ugly and you are just “misunderstood”
I don’t get that it’s okay for you to say I need make-up to look pretty
But it’s not okay to say you need sports to be cool
I don’t get why I get to be called desperate when I like someone,
But when you like someone it’s just being loyal
I don’t get why when I’m upset, I’m being “dramatic”
But when you’re upset it’s okay because guys are encouraged to be sensitive and shouldn’t have to apologize.
I don’t get why I’m wrong and you’re right
I don’t get why I have to apologize because if I don’t it’s being insensitive
But you don’t have to apologize because it shows you’re tough and stand up for yourself
I don’t get why you say bad things about me, and I must automatically forgive you.
But I can’t say bad things about you because if I do, you’ll never talk to me again
I don’t get why you get to call my body ugly and flat,
But if I even comment on how you did your hair that day, you ignore me.
I don’t get that I’m called clingy because I ask you for help with a math problem once a month,
But I can’t call you clingy for calling and texting me at least ten times a day for two years.
I don’t get why I care about what you think or say
And yet I’m sorry you feel that way
I don’t get why you’re so repulsed and disgusted by me
But in my eyes, you're a handsome sweet boy
I don’t get why despite all these things I still love you and for five years it can’t seem to end
I don’t get why after all this time you see me nothing more than a friend
