Because of What You'Ve Done

Long before my birth
you decided I had no worth
You decided you didn't want to be my father
but I don't understand what's the bother

I don't undertand what I could've done 
to make you not want me as your son
I heard you already had a son, my brother
who is from a different mother

I should feel like I'm someone
but I don't because of what you've done
I also feel that I'll never be loved by anyone
and that I'm not worthy of love from anyone

My cousin teases me a lot 
I think he liked doing this a lot
All of this makes me extremely sad
and a little bit mad

No matter how much I try not to, I cry
and embarassment has made me lie
Although you've cause me a lot of pain
somehow I haven't gone insane

Eventhough it's been more than twenty years
the pain still hurts like being stabbed by spears
And I'm still plagued with lots of fears
that when it comes to me, no one cares

To be honest, this makes me quite irrate
and filled with lots of hate
And now because of what you've done
I'll never ever consider myself your son
