I wished you would never come home
not after all those years
I didn't like it when you were here.
Not the way you hit mummy
or the baby inside of her
and the way you punished me
when i make a mistake.
I didn't mean to fail
it was only a spelling test
but still you beat me to the ground.
Aside from my tears
i don't make a sound
i just wimpered and cried
until mummy intervened.
I didn't like your smell
when you put me to bed
when you come in from the pub
with alcohol on your breath.
It happened all the time
i know you're adicted to the stuff
but i didn't like the way it always made you act.
I know mummy deserved it
when you attacked her with a knife
when i was supposed to be asleep
safe and sound in bed.
I woke up and i heard her screams
and knowing my punishment clearly
i still ran in front of the knife.
I don't like waking up scared
in a place i've never seen
knowing mummy isn't here anymore
and it's only you instead.
So please don't hurt me
i promise i won't make a sound
just knowing what you did to mummy...
i promise i'll be good.
