Was never in much doubt
The question was how I could keep sane
Trying to find a way out
Things were never easy for me
Peace of mind was hard to fin
And I needed a place where I could hide
Somewhere I could call mine
I didn't think much about it
Til it started happening all the time
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the
Crying of my mother
And I remember when
I swore that, that would be the
Last theyd see of me
And I never went home again
They say that 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:
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, 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
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go,
And what should I do
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, oh I came here for you
Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
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
Wed have to sit down and talk it over
And that would mean going back
They say that time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang that 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:
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
When 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
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go and what should I do
Youre no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you
Youre no son, you're no son of mine - oh
Youre no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah
Youre no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
Well the key to my survival Was never in much doubt The question was how I could keep sane Trying to find a way out Things were never easy for me Peace of mind was hard to fin And I needed a place where I could hide Somewhere I could call mine I didn't think much about it Til it started happening all the time Soon I was living with the fear everyday Of what might happen that night I couldn't stand to hear the Crying of my mother And I remember when I swore that, that would be the Last theyd see of me And I never went home again They say that 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: Youre no son, you're no son of mine Youre no son, you're no son of mine You walked out, you left us behind And you're no son, 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 Youre no son, you're no son of mine But where should I go, And what should I do Youre no son, you're no son of mine But I came here for help, oh I came here for you Well the years they passed so slowly I thought about him everyday 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 Wed have to sit down and talk it over And that would mean going back They say that time is a healer And now my wounds are not the same I rang that 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: Youre no son, you're no son of mine Youre no son, you're no son of mine When 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 Youre no son, you're no son of mine But where should I go and what should I do Youre no son, you're no son of mine But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you Youre no son, you're no son of mine - oh Youre no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah Youre no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
