Out late, never home, never there to see
Never there to see what you did to me
Never cared, never there when I needed you
Never there and never true your antics only made me blue
I look back and I can see
How truly bad you were for me
What I thought I had loved wasn't really true
You never really stuck to me like had I stuck to you
The pain has long since gone
And I've said goodbye and moved on
But all wounds leave some sort of scar
From me these wounds will never be far
You stood by and watched my long fall down
Cast my name around and made it bad round the town
You trod me hard and deep into the dirt
But I'll be damned if I'll let it still hurt
To let it hurt me would mean defeat
No way will I let you force me years later to retreat
I've gotta work to push old habits away
I made a promise to someone else and I've found I want to stay
The years have passed and changed us fast
I never can see why I thought what we had would ever last
It was harsh to learn it all the way I did
When really 13 is still only a young kid
But I'd not be who I am now if not for your abuse
Although don't you dare pretend that's even a good excuse
It never will be, it never ever was
Your excuses where generally "oh just because"
It made you feel like a man to see me cry
I doubt it ever occurred to you that I wanted to die
Fighting what was a losing battle still years on
I feel like a whole section of my life was a great big con
Out late, never home, never there to see
Never there to see what you did to me
Never cared, never there when I needed you
Never there and never true your antics only made me blue
You stood by and watched my long fall down
Cast my name around and made it bad round the town
You trod me hard and deep into the dirt
But I'll be damned if I'll let it still hurt
The pain has long since gone
And I've said goodbye and moved on
But all wounds leave some sort of scar
From me these wounds will never be far
