No son of mine

Well, the key to my survival, was never in much doubt. The question was how I could keep sane. Trying to find the 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 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 and 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 so 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 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 and 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
