Treated unfairly, you resent everybody that has so much
   Of the things in life that were taken away from you.
   So wrapped up in your misery, you never feel the love that surrounds you,
   So wrapped up in your misery, you never notice that life passed you by.
  
   You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
   Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate.
  
   Left all alone, ignored by the one you need attention from
   For the things in life you never achieved on your own.
   He can't be bothered to care for you, to hold and respect and be there for you,
   He can't be a real father to you, some day he'll regret all the time that went by.
  
   You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
   And I've always hated to see you hurt inside.
   So much I try to help you but you push me away,
   Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate
   Locked inside a world of hate.
  
   Beaten down for as long as you remember
   Your life was analyzed, criticized and dismembered
   Your hopes and dreams were suffering you've severed
   The pain you've endured, the suffering you've weathered
   You find it so hard to pull yourself together
   To face the world to your fears you surrender,
   You dream of a day you'll overcome and sever,
   The cycle of abuse and the pain you've carried forever.
  
   You're not alone, there's so many others that cared for you,
   So many things in our lives you helped us all get through
   It means so much to me that you're here to share in my life
   And clam my fears, it means so much to me that you're alive,
   As you hold my child and wipe the tears from your eyes.
