Does Anybody Know
Does Anybody Know
I don't think anybody knows
how hurt I feel inside
wandering through my life alone
since I was only five
my mother put my dad away
he's gone because she lied
and she has disappeared again
and I've been tossed aside
she told me it would be all right
I'll be back by her side
and I will be a happy boy
but I have been denied
hope that other kids still have
the feeling of self pride
instead I bear my mothers shame
which seems unjustified
I don't think anybody knows
how long and hard I've tried
to take the nothing I have left
and just be satisfied
