Snapped

So your old man left 
I told you he was a bum
He's been abusing you
Since you were young

Here's some ice for your eye
And your bloody nose
He says live with it
That's the way it goes

Good riddance I say
What are you going to do
Stay with me
You know I love you

He's coming back up the drive
Decided to come back home
Where are you going
Just leave him alone

I can hear the yelling 
A fearful shout
The six gunshots
That blew his brains out
