Adulterous Attack (about father)

by Rachele   Dec 30, 2007


Surrounded by the same old people, with the same old faces.
Not a thing has changed.
They're all still full of lies with the same truth behind them.
But they all said they changed.

I hate how home's the unsafest place.
Every time I turn around, I see the same face.
Home has become so lonely here.
It seems like with every breath I take, I'm being abandoned here.

When I see your face, my hope turns to doubt.
Every time I speak, I get lost in myself.
You're the one that taught me it's never safe to trust.
Because of your choices, I'm left here, alone here, behind your cloud of dust.

You make your choices so fast, without ever looking back.
For once in my life, I thought I meant something to you.
But you see, I see the truth now, you only look after you.

Tears fall down every time you make a sound.
For the first time, when you're ready to apologize, I won't be there to listen.
As far as I'm concerned, you never even existed.

You come crawling back now, like nothing has changed.
You plead with regretful eyes that it wasn't your fault.
And I only think you're sorry because you got caught.

I stand here, alone here, deaf to your voice.
I don't believe you wish you didn't make that choice.
As you cry there, by yourself there, a smile will approach my face.
Because I've learned now, on my own now, that you're the reason I'm in this place.

So say goodbye Dad, as I leave here, and never look back.
I'm no longer gonna be involved in your adulterous attack.
It doesn't pain me to leave you, the way I knew it might.
As of now, my heart, is no longer contrite.
