No Son of Mine

He sat me down to talk to me
You're no son, you're no son of mine
Trying to find a way out
In and out of hiding places
What would I do if we passed on the street
Of what might happen that night?
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
And now my wounds are not the same
They say that time is a healer
I had to hear what he'd say
Till it started happening all the time
I had to hear what he'd say
I thought about him everyday
You're no son, you're no son of mine, oh

You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
But I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth

We'd have to sit down and talk it over
And I needed a place where I could hide
You're no son, you're no son of mine

You walked out, you left us behind
I couldn't stand to hear the crying of my mother
And you're no son, you're no son of mine"
They say that time is a healer
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you
I didn't think much about it
And as the time it went by, I lived to regret it
Somewhere I could call mine

And that would mean going back
But where should I go? And what should I do?
Soon I'd have to face the facts
He looked me straight in the eyes

Peace of mind was hard to find
I rang a bell with my heart in my mouth

You're no son, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah

But where should I go? And what should I do?
Things were never easy for me
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
You're no son, you're no son of mine
He said, "You're no son, you're no son of mine
And I remember when I swore that
And as the time it went by, I lived to regret it
He looked me straight in the eyes
Well the years they passed so slowly
And now my wounds are not the same
He sat me down to talk to me
And you're no son, you're no son of mine"
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
The question was how I could keep sane?

That would be the last they'd see of me
But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you
Would I keep running away?
He said, "You're no son, you're no son of mine
And I never went home again
