Your mother came up to me
|
She wanted answers only she should know
|
Only she should know
|
|
It wasn't easy to deal
|
With the tears that rolled down her face
|
I had no answers 'cause
|
I didn't even know you
|
|
But these words
|
They can't replace
|
The life you......the life you waste
|
|
How could you paint this picture?
|
Was life as bad as it should seem
|
That there were no more options for you
|
I can't explain how I feel
|
I've been there many times before
|
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me
|
|
But these words
|
They can't replace
|
The life you......the life you waste
|
|
Did Daddy not love you?
|
Or did he love you just too much?
|
Did he control you?
|
Did he live through you at your cost?
|
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?
|
|
WELL FUCK THEM!
|
AND FUCK HER!
|
AND FUCK HIM!
|
AND FUCK YOU!
|
For not having
|
The strength in your heart
|
To pull through!
|
I've had doubts!
|
I have failed!
|
I've fucked up!
|
I've had plans!
|
Doesn't mean
|
I should take
|
My Life
|
With my own hands
|
|
But these words
|
They can't replace
|
The life you......the life you waste
|
|
But these words
|
The don't replace
|
The life you...
|
THE LIFE YOU WASTE
|
