Alone

I bet you that you didnt care about how i was doing over here all alone on the floor drowning in life that's poor. Confused and all by myself, feeling that i lost all self-control. I bet that you dont care how my mom helped you with welfare, trying to do whats right you burn a house in all your shame you go to jail and fail to show up for my birth. I bet you don't know how it was, to be without a dad who lost his self, in the dark all alone he sits in a phsyco home. Where his mom feeds him and, tells him how she tried to see me, after fifteen years i fell apart, trying to pick up my broken heart, but still i bet you didn't know how it felt to be alone.
