Mother Love Should Always Rule

There is nothing here for you
My house, my dreams, my wife, my life
There is nothing here for you

You say I broke my ties with the great and good family of you
Perhaps that’s what you see, perhaps… yes perhaps that’ll do

I feel empty when I look at you
There is no compassion coming from this fool for you
You say I broke your heart and that a mothers love should always rule

You don’t remember when I was lost and needed help from you?

When I didn’t understand who I was or what that meant to you?

You don’t remember… so convenient for you.

My attempt… 
Suicide, oh that word scares you.

And then you say that it would be better if I was dead and gone away from you 

Because of the embarrassment of a son who did not know what to do.

So.

So, there is nothing here for you.
