She is delicate but stronger than you
You squander every chance at her trust
A boy is not a man in this world
Until he learns to temper his lust

Thoughtless words don't always
Fall on deaf ears
A mother says "think before you speak,"
And "Son, be wise beyond your years"

But you break every word and every heart
That you can fit underneath your feet
She cares, but you repay it
With heavy hands and affairs discreet

There must be some satisfaction
Some macabre endgame that you seek
She sacrificed every song, every dream
To birth child with bruises on her cheeks

Her fractures run deeper than the bone
You capricious stupid cur
She slips on sunglasses and grips the steering wheel
Every moment after is all a blur
