Life Blown Out
Life Blown out.
I fit in the palm of a hand a tiny miracle extinguished
No mummy cuddles, no little pink dress, just death.
What did I do wrong, my life blown out like a flame .
And all because daddy hit mummy again.
It wasn't my fault, I was not to blame.
Seems daddy hit the drink and mummy and me.
His tears will not bring me back or wipe away his shame.
and he will spend the rest of his life in jail.
Poor mummy lost her daughter.
Mummy lost her love
But mummy found his gun, BANG !
And now theirs only me.
