Why am I the ...

You were clearly late by way more than an hour
You used all the hot water before I could take a shower
You stayed up blasting music after I had gone to bed
But now you're taking issue with something that I said?


And you think I'm the asshole?
Wait, I'm the asshole?
Come on, I'm the asshole?
Why am I the asshole?


The dishes keep on piling up until I finally do them
You said a bunch a racist stuff that I had to condemn
You finish all the milk and you didn't buy some more
But you're really, really mad about the way that I swore?


You think I'm the asshole?
No seriously, I'm the asshole?
Year right, I'm the asshole?
Why am I the asshole?


You broke several glasses and didn't sweep the floor
You keep on playing songs that you know I just deplore
You smoke in the apartment and you keep the windows closed
But you say it's just uncalled for, the words I chose?


You think I'm the asshole?
No seriously, I'm the asshole?
Sure, I'm the asshole?
Why am I the asshole?

The theme of rejection continues, this time by a roommate who does not understand respect. Lack of respect is a form of rejection. At the same time, it is about incompatibilities between people.
