She brought me up
On her own
Did what she could
More than you would
All I know
Are the pictures she's shown
Of my first year
With someone I've never known

Why did you do it
What did you want
Just the sex without after-thought?
You threw me away
Not what you want
Too bad, father
Because I am your son

It was a hot week
At her cafe
She was working
You weren't staying
I still ask her
And she still won't say
Thinking of it
Still sets my anger ablaze

Why did you do it
I guess that you knew
Any honor was no honor for you?
You threw me away
Left us to pull through
Too bad father
I am yours too

What a shame
That you took the easy way out
You left the gift of life
But that's your loss, your fault
Because I know
That time will always tell
Engraved in your mind
That I'm your bane, your hell

Why did you do it
What in your head
Told you to run, and do you regret?
You did me a favor
You're not what I want
You're worthless, father
I'm not your son
