Well the key to my
survival was never
in much doubt
The question was how
I could keep sane
trying to find
a way out
Things were never
easy for me
Peace of mind
was hard to find
And I needed a place
where I could hide
Somewhere I could
call mine
I didn't think much
about it till it started
happening all the time
Soon I was living with
the fear everyday of
what might happen
at night
I couldn't stand to
hear the crying of
my mother and I
remember when
I swore that
that would be the
last they'd see of me
and I never went
home again
They say that
time is a healer
And now my wounds
are not the same
I rang the bell with
my heart in
my mouth
I had to hear
what he'd say
He sat me down
to talk to me
He looked me
straight in the eyes
He said:
You're no son
You're no son of mine
You're no son
You're no son of mine
You walked out,
you left us behind
You're no son
You're no son of mine
Oh, his words
how they hurt me
I'll never forget it
And as the time,
it went by
I lived to regret it
You're no son
You're no son of mine
But where should I go
and what should I do?
You're no son
You're no son of mine
But I came here
for help
I came here for you
Well the years they
passed slowly
I thought about
him every day
What would I do
if we passed
on the street?
Would I keep
running away?
In and out of
hiding places
Soon I'd have
to face the facts
We'd have to sit down
and talk it over
and that would
mean going back
They say that time
is a healer and now
my wounds are
not the same
I rang the bell with
my heart
in my mouth
I had to hear
what he'd say
He sat me down
to talk to me
He looked me
straight in the eyes
He said:
You're no son
You're no son of mine
You're no son
You're no son of mine
You walked out,
you left us behind
You're no son
You're no son of mine
Oh, his words
how they hurt me
I'll never forget it
And as the time,
it went by
I lived to regret it
You're no son
You're no son of mine
But where should I go
and what should I do?
You're no son
You're no son of mine
But I came here
for help
Oh I was looking
for you
You're no son
You're no son of mine
Oh
You're no son
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
Ah yeah
