These tears they burn my eyes
These shallow breathes make it hard to breath
All because you couldn't learn to accept me,
Now I'm on someone's couch trying to get back on my feet

I now get panic attacks,
And now my heart screams in agony
It doesn't hurt that you can't love me,
It hurts that I had to hurt you so that I could leave with my life,
It hurts that I had to break your bones so you couldn't break my neck

Finally this nightmare is almost over,
I never wanted to be the bad guy, just to be your son
Now I'm forced to battle you for my freedom

I'm sorry mother for what I must do,
But my swollen skin that your nails and teeth damaged have spoken,
You crossed the line, made me snap
No longer will I defend and protect you
Now you must pay for your mistakes
Because I no longer will be your punching bag

Please forgive me my mother,
I still love you, I always have,
But I must do what I must
I can never forgive you, I can't because I love you and you've damaged me enough, you're the reason why darkness stains my eyes
So forgive me my mother,
While you rot in your prison cell
Forgive me since you do not love me,
Because I will never forgive you since I love you
