How Many Times Have I Told You
how many times have i told you
You are worthless?
How many times have I pounded your head into the ground?
How many times have I thrown you into the psych ward?
How many times have I looked at you with scorn and derision?
How many times have I rejected you?
How many times have I tortured you?
How many times have I told you in so many ways to die?
You stubborn bastard
You won't leave
You have to get that damn truth out of you
Can't you see this world doesn't want you
Can't you see this world doesn't love you
Can't you see this world isn't ready for you
You stubborn son of a b*t*h
And you keep going
So what the hell do you want?
You have my attention.
