Motherless

How can you raise me when you're holding me down? Stunt my growth, force me into the ground Nature versus nurture well I've never seen either Locked away left abandoned to wither I wish you loved me like you loved to use I had to learn to love the abuse I never felt good enough for you You weren't enough for yourself Motherless I wish you never birthed me Motherless I wish you never hurt me Motherless You were supposed to love me I wish I could have been Motherless A living image of transgression All along your own projection You lost me and you still can't tell Stuck forever in your living hell Every day I reap and sow Over the words I was never told Bore a child who was left to grow This dead soil has no life to show Motherless I wish you never birthed me Motherless I wish you never hurt me Motherless You were supposed to love me I wish I could have been Motherless A perfect life not what it seems Molly coddled and manipulated The favoured, the strong, your number one No one knows the true hurt you caused My haunted mind How could I know what is wrong or right? You cursed my life But I wish I'd never seen the light Motherless I wish you never birthed me Motherless I wish you never hurt me Motherless You were supposed to love me I never wanted you You never wanted me I wish I could have been Motherless You dragged me into your own hell I had to watch you burn Left alone to blame myself And rot forever in this lifeless shell Left alone Motherless
