Sorry About Your Parents

I'm sorry about your parents, they sound like bad peopleYour daddy sounds like a jerkI guess your mama didn't know the gift she got when she got youI'm sorry about your life, you had it pretty roughBending over backwards, never good enoughYou poor thing, it must suck to be youAnd I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it?

I know what it's like staying up all night nursing woundsIt takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always loseOh, don't you know? That's no way to liveI know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds

I get it, give me a little creditI remember when I was that patheticWear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to seeLike look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thickYou probably have the right to feel how you doYou were mistreated and cheated out of the childhood you neededAnd now you'll never succeed if you're so convinced you're defeatedIf you're obsessed with your yesterday then you're destined to repeat itAnd I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it, is it, is it?
