Remember when I broke my arm
you held me and promised
I would come to no harm
You lied

My arm was snapped,
you’d finally hit me too hard
No one believed me
they said my lying had gone too far

Remember when I won my race
the way the crowd cheered
I was on top of the world
But you weren't there

The pub meant more
your head was pounding
I wanted to tell you
but I didn't make a sound

Remember when school phoned
They saw my bruises
you said I was learning to box
That was true

I had become you're punching bag
Never dared to hit back
you would only react
So I just stood there

Can you remember when she left
we were torn apart
I was missing a key part of my life
You weren't

You told me it was my fault
But I knew it was yours
She was too scared to run
You pushed her over the edge

Can you remember when I left
You didn't even say goodbye
instead you let out a sigh of relief
That was the final straw

I’m back now
This time I won’t back down
you have got away with too much
Now it is my turn

A stone through you window
All your bottles smashed
I torched you car
My heart is detached

I’ve got my revenge
It has all come to an end
I hope you’re glad
I will never call you dad
