What Comes Around Goes Around
Stitches and scars will always go away
But what you did intentionally will forever stay
The words you spoke to hurt my pride
didn't hurt my pride but burned me inside
The weapons you held to input fear
All they did was make me cry tear after tear
The thousands of times you raised your hand
Were always when you were sober, or drunk on demand
The words you swore you'd never say
Sometimes haunt my every day
The anger inside comes out every once in a while
Never again to you will I make a real smile
My family members you cursed all the time
Will go on living every day to shine
You wasted all your energy on a family that can't be broken
Because of the hurt you've demonstrated and words you've spoken
We were there when you needed us the most
And for hurting us you brag and boast
But your the one who suffered the most
So do us all a favor, and move back up the coast
You used us and you got it all
But now you come back to us when you fall...
