Your Honor
spektor regina Lyrics

I kissed your lips and I tasted blood
I could tell that you had been in a fight, and you were hurt.

I asked you what happened and you said there'd been a fight
I wanted to know what had happened, and you told me that you had been in a fight.

You said I've been fighting for your honor but you wouldn't understand
You explained that you had fought to protect my honor, but I couldn't comprehend the reason behind it.

I said hold on your honor I'll get ice for your hand
I offered to help you, and said I would get ice to ease the pain in your hand.

Oh you been fighting for my honor and I don't understand
You reiterated that you had fought for my honor, and I still couldn't comprehend why.

But hold on your honor I'll get ice for your hand
Despite my confusion about the reason behind your fight, I offered to help ease your pain.

You said c'mon baby let's just make love
You suggested that we have sex as a way to forget the fight and make things better.

It's the only thing to make me better
You believed that sex could heal your wounds and make you feel better.

You said come on let's just get you out of that sweater
You wanted me to take off my clothes so we could have sex.

I said I don't kiss losers and I don't kiss winners
I refused to engage in a power dynamic, refusing to kiss someone who won or lost.

And I don't fight for honor cause we all are born sinners
I believed that fighting for honor was pointless, as humans are inherently flawed and sinful.

Gargle with peroxide
I suggested you gargle with peroxide to sanitize the injuries in your mouth.

A steak for your eye
A steak can sometimes be applied to a black eye to help reduce swelling and inflammation.

But I'm a vegetarian so it's a frozen pizza pie
I couldn't provide the traditional remedy of a steak because I am a vegetarian, so I offered a frozen pizza pie instead.

You tell me that you care and you never do lie
You assured me that you truly cared for me and never lied about your feelings.

And you fight for my honor but I just don't know why
Despite your assurance of your care for me, I was still unsure why you felt the need to fight for my honor.

Mary had a little lamb it's fleece was white as snow
I made a random reference to the nursery rhyme to indicate a change in the conversation.

You've got me and I'm just a common ho
I acknowledged that I was just a common person, and you had me despite that.

But I know what I am and I know what I ain't
Despite my self-deprecating remark, I confidently stated that I knew my own identity.

So don't get cut cause I still won't be no saint
I warned you not to hurt me, and even if you did, I wouldn't pretend to be perfect or saintly about it.

You tell me that you love me and you never do lie
You repeated your assurance that you truly loved me and never lied to me.

And you fight for my honor but I just don't know why
Despite your constant affirmation of your love for me and your fighting for my honor, I remained uncertain about your motivation.

You fight for my honor and I don't understand
Once again, I expressed my confusion about your fighting for my honor.

But hold on your honor I'll get ice for your hand
Despite my confusion, I offered to help ease your pain by getting ice for your injured hand.
