You

I can't handle this pain anymore,
My ribs are broken and my neck is sore.

You always call me out of my name,
You say it's my fault and I'm to blame.

If this is what love is you can have it all back.
I'm afraid this train has gone off track.

I'm done with the misery, I can't take anymore pain.
I know what you've lost and what I'm going to gain.

So many hurtful things said and done.
I was truly praying you were "the one".

I had your back when no one else would.
You only did this because you thought you could.

So I'm saying  you for what you have done.
It's time I focus on my son.

So I'll say it louder for the ones in the back.
You said  me so  YOU right back!!!
