You don't come around like you used to before,
You'd come in every night always wanting more.
Looking for some cash that you knew we never had,
So you threatened us death when you knew it was bad.
Every other night you would come in the same,
Drunk and far from sober taking mom to blame.
You'd slam your beer hard and your fist on the table,
Cursing us out because you're mentally unstable.
I'd run to my room but you'd find me anyway,
Always scared to death so in return I start to pray.
We never had enough because we gave it all to you,
All the money we had and my bank savings too.
Nothing was ever enough for you and she gave you all of her love,
In return you took her money plus mine and left us just like a dove.
I'd like to know where you are to see where you've gotten now,
Maybe you're doing well on your own maybe but I don't know how.
