On My Own
I’m stuck in this
Painful memory
Of what I thought
Should be
It never should have
Come to this
For Christ sake
We’re your kids
I know now
Nothing I say and nothing I do
Nothing will change
The way I feel for you
There’s no more excuses
And no more lies
All that’s left is the truth
That you can’t deny
You hid from the truth
For so long
It must kill you
To admit you were wrong
But I expect nothing
And won’t be surprised
If you choose to turn,
Run and hide
It’s what you do best
Though lives are at stake
But that’s just you
All you do is take
But I refuse
To take anymore
Its been a lot
More than I can endure
It’s over now
And it’s all your fault
I’d hate to see you
Don’t bother to call
Just let me be
I’m fine all alone
And I’ll make it further
Then you did all on my own
