Someone's going to get hurt, and it's always me!

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker complains with weary certainty that someone will be hurt and that it will be them. The line combines anticipatory dread with self-pitying resignation, treating injury as an unavoidable pattern, and the exaggeration of 'always' gives the grievance a comic, put-upon edge.
