Me and Mine

When I learned how the world really was
I learned I cold never love.
When I learned that people could just walk away
And leave you alone to play
Like you don't really care at all,
But all you want is for them to call
You on the telephone
And have them say that they too are alone.
But that's not how the world works
This crazy world is filled with jerks.
And all they do is bring you down,
Way, way down till you hit the ground.
Way, way down till you hit the bottom of the sea.
Way, way down just like me.
When I was little I got left alone.
With out a father to call my own.
It was his fault that my mother left,
It was his fault, he almost beat her to death.
In a drug induced haze he beat her so
Out side this time I the icy snow.
After he was done with her he came at me
But my mother would not let that be.
She left his there on that night
She left him even thought he put up a fight
She would not stay.
Not another day.
Then one day she found another
And to this day I call him father.
He helped me grow with courage and strength,
And for that I owe him thanks.
Thanks for always being true
Thanks for always coming through.
But then one day he was taken from me.
And on that day he was murdered brutally.
The people that killed him where never found.
And like the first it brought me to the ground.
Way, way down to the sea
Way, way down to my knees.
And because of this I can never love
For fear of being left alone
The fear of being on my own.
But that's just the way my life goes
And ask for love
love is something no one really knows
Knows until it's really gone
So in this case I did know love
But never again
No more hurt no more pain
My heart can not take the strain.
