taught me right from wrong

Lyrics

You can hit me if you want
I really don' give a damn
You were supposed to protect me
Because you were my mam
Now every day you play pretend
Like all the past was gone
I'm left with all the scars you left
It taught me right from wrong

I hope one day you know what you've done,
all of these years youve tried to break your son
Ever since being young the torment begun
As if it was a game as if it were fun
Now there's nothing you can do to hurt me again,
Iv been through all that, I fought through the pain,
Froze through the snow and soaked by the rain
The shit that you did was not far from insane

The only time I get sad, from time that's past us by
Is when I had to hold your hair and I was asking why
You were in the state you were and I'd begin to cry
You'd turn around so off your face and punch me in the eye
Bottle after bottle that you smashed across my head
Then you would lie down pass out as if you were already dead
To the bathroom I would go and the water would turn red
I'd clean myself up and off I went, crawled into bed
The beatings you would give made you turn into a savage
Punching me in the face not caring about the damage
Screaming emotional abuse giving me a double wammage
Then off to school the next day with more shit than I can manage

You can hit me if you want
I really don't give a damn
You were supposed to protect me
Because you were my mam
Now every day you play pretend
Like everything was all just gone
I'm left with all the scars you left
It taught me right from wrong

30 year old and I already had a stroke
You didn't believe me so you can hang from a fuckin rope
Pass me a smoke just so that I can cope
Locked in a nut house man this shits a fuckin joke
You tried to keep me locked up in there even when I was better
Man I wish you knew how much I hate writing every letter
I'm feeling sick so better take off a sweater
Fought through the pain But These scars they will last forever
So now I'm broken and the emergency light is blinking
Stuck out at sea while the ship I'm on is sinking
I wish I knew back then what you were thinking
Always a mess in a state because you were drinking
And now that I'm left with nothing but all the trauma
Took a payload worse than a Lancaster bomber
Gave you a grandson at the end of October
To much damage caused, now the dream is over
You always thought the worst of me
So youl never see the best of me
After years and years of therapy
But after all these years now I must flee
Out of your control now that iv got the strength
Memory's of ridley Park freezing sleeping on a bench
I'm so damn strong now armour put on screw n wrench
Dark side taking over now I'm out for my revenge
You were supposed to be the one who was there,
You were supposed to be the one who would care
You were supposed to lift me from dispare
But instead it was you who put me there

So you can hit me if you want
I really don't give a damn
You were supposed to protect me
Because you were my mam
Now every day you play pretend
Like all the past gone
I'm left with all the scars you left
It taught me right from wrong

My only source of food was week old moldy bread
My best friends house was the place I was fed
Compulsive liar was the only thing you ever said
Even when others could see the signals red
You went and left me to starve to death
Watch as i Froze through winters while I became a wreck
Not spending a moment on whether to check
Whether I had even taken my last breath
Even when I had my stroke
You told everyone it was a drug overdose
But in reality you wernt even close
Wrecked friendships that I cherrished the most
All my feelings feel like there never validated
All this time that I have waited
Feelings epruting yet got to stay patient
About All of the destruction that you have created

I was Never ever aloud to have a voice
Had to stay silent but it was never a choice
Now I can speak I gotta rejoice
Whether il tell all is a roll of the dice
Your completly messed up in the head
To sit and watch your son starve to death
But if its your daughter you ignore the signs you dread
Never listening to a word I said

You can hit me if you want
I really don't give a damn
You were supposed to protect me
Because you were my mam
Now every day you play pretend
Like everything was all just gone
I'm left with all the scars you left
It taught me right from wrong
Yeah, it taught me right from wrong
