*anyone who has had an abusive parent, physical or emotional, or if your parent just puts down everything you do and plays favorites and your not the favorite, can relate to this, remember your not alone!*
When the sun sets
And you finally realize
That you still don't understand
Maybe, just maybe
You'll finally realize the truth
Just because your family
Doesn't mean a damn thing!
You still won't understand today
And you defiantly won't understand tomorrow
You don't know what it's like
You have no idea who I am
I have always been your second
And for the rest of my life
That's probably where I'll stay
You'll never give up on him
No matter how much shit he puts you through
But the minuet I mess up
You've already given up on me
I'm your fall back
You don't have a punching bag
That's OK, I have my child!
The put downs, the screaming
The lies, just everything
I can't take it anymore!
Part of me just wants to give up
To follow in your footsteps
But I am better than you
Don't push me over the edge
Although I don't mind
I'll just smile at you on the way down
So that way you can remember
What I use to look like when I was happy
Back when there was no abusive you
So you can remember all that you took away
Replay in your mind
My laugh
My smile
My grin
My giggle
My face
Do you remember what they use to look like?
When they weren't covered in tears or blood
Or back when my eyes didn't hold fear of you
No, I didn't think so
Well let me remind you
You have already killed me
So now I will let my body join my soul
Six feet under
Right where you have driven them
And you can remember
How I use to be
Way back when...
Way back when, there was no you!!!!
