How is it that you pretend
Like everything is fine
You took away our security
And family both combined
We had a home, a life to live
But now you just don't see
Look at what has happened mother
You are killing me
You think that what your doing is OK
Why can't you understand
This is not what is supposed to happen
This is not what was planned
My father is not the cause
Nor my brother or sisters or I
It was your thoughts that did the most
It was the devils cry
Your memories all from the past
Are gone and won't come back
But you use them as excuses
You use them as your attack
There is nothing that can justify
That what your doing is okay
I only wish and pray to God
I will have my mother back someday
How can you ask us to feel your pain
When none of it is true
Your false memories of your past
Are only memories to you
I remember growing up
Both you and Dad were there
He helped out so much
But you deny he even cared
Nobody is perfect
You can't blame a single soul
Take some blame for your action
Quit turning your heart to coal
Stop thinking of yourself for once
At least think of your kids in some way
Think of what we are going through
Please understand what I am trying to say
I'll tell you what
I can lay it out in simple terms for you
Quit living how you are
Or our relationship is through
I know that I still love you
But only because you're my Mom
I cannot support the things you do
You even raised me to know they are wrong
Please listen to my cry Mom
Listen to my truth
You are destroying all your kids
You have screwed our entire youth
What you do is not harmless
It is the biggest mistake of all
Every aspect of our lives are effected
Our spirits continue to fall
Why can't you just open your eyes
Look at what is true
Your living a life full of lies
Everybody sees it but you
Nothing can replace what we had
No person can fix this but you
But I worry every day that you don't care
I worry there is nothing you will do
Each day I lose hope
That things could be as they were
But for some reason I keep on fighting
I have faith that a miracle can still occur
I will never give up those thoughts
No matter what you say
Because I believe we will be a family again
It will happen someday
But in order for that to happen
There are many things to do
One of which includes me saying
A tough goodbye to you
I am sorry but I can not sit back
And watch what you have done
I can't pretend anymore
Otherwise the devil has won
I hate you for what your putting us through
I don't understand why
I hope that this message hits you
I hope it makes you cry
Please don't ask me why
Or what I'm trying to do
Because I know there is an answer
That's lying inside of you
You have put a stranger before your kids
A man you barely know
You've already made your choices
There is nothing more to show
The world has taken it all
And you act like its just fine
Quit making the choices you are
Because you will never reach the finish line
Who are you trying to fool
I know the woman you used to be
So I'm begging you mother
Please come home to me
