Unwanted but breathing
In the next room sleeping
My mother shes crying
And my fathers been drinking
In our rundown apartment
Where the roof is still leaking
Hes cursing and cussing
Its just the whiskey talking
And Ive got lots of memories like this one
Of empty days and nights spent tired and lonesome
When I think back to all of it
Its all too much
Oh its all too much when youre just a little kid
My little brother just a newborn baby
In the image of my mother says hes a blessing
But not to my father oh how he hates him
An undeserving mistake He calls him a burden
And Ive got lots of memories like this one
Of picking sides and picking fights between them
When I think back to all of it
Well its all too much
Well its all too much when youre just a little kid
And when I wake up in the morning it all feels like a bad dream
One that follows you and haunts you endlessly
Yeah haunts me endlessly
Well broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating
The addiction and the lying and the promise of leaving
While my old man was a bastard I admired and loved him
And us two kids we were born in to a family not a fortune no
end on
