I want it
Give it to me
I love it
Don't give it to her
You've gotta give it to me

I want it
I saw it first
I want it worse

I love it
Give it to me

I love it
I love it
Give it to me

So maybe I didn't see it first but I'm the one who wants it worse
I don't even know what I'm wantin' yet but I know I'm wantin' somethin'
I don't even know what I'm missin' yet but I know I'm missin' somethin'
And if this is my name does it have to be my life
'Cuz I'm not gonna sit around while your with your wife

I want it
Give it to me
I love it
Don't give it to her
You've gotta give it to me

Me, me, me
Me, me, me

Yeah I wouldn't know when to share and I'm suprised that I shoud dare
Well I'm the bitch and you got the itch I'm sorry said go fish
Yeah I'm the bitch and you got the itch I'm sorry said go fish

She didn't have it
He didn't have it

I will have my cake and I will eat it too just like you
You better watch out what you're wishing for
I will have my cake and I will eat it too just like you

    It is called "The Scratch," not Scratch. Better than calling it "The Itch" like one review apparently did, back in the day.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
