This is something that popped into my head when I was listening to a song by Garbage called "Why do you love me?". I tend to mess with words in songs to get them to better fit my life.
This is about abuse. Any abuse in general - but really between people who say they love each other but one always abuses the other.
This is a guy who is asking "WHY" to his abuser, (thats what the red bandage says by the way) and he is smiling because he knows there is no excuse.

I wanted to do a background but my paint software wouldnt let me - it kept messing with my other layers....I dont know what Im doing because this software came without instructions - so any ideas as to what I might want to try next time would be much appriciated. I could do backgrounds with two of my others, so I dont know whats the problem this time.
