Abuse

Momma went crazy again
drinking up a storm
She just wouldn't stop
through night til early morn

She punched her new boyfriend, Tyler
Gave him a shiner that closed his eye
Tyler called my dad, he came,
to take me away for the night

Tyler looked at my dad
asking how did he do it
Dad touched me on the head
Said I was worth all the ****

Momma broke everything
but worse she has broken me
Tyler is a nice stepdad
I like him and he likes me

Don't know where I'm going
tomorrow seems so bleak
but for now I'm with my dad
I won't worry and will not weep

So today I am with dad
While momma sobers up 
inside her broken mess
while her and Tyler broke up
