You're Breaking Up My Mind

O h why'd you hurt me mommy

You claimed to love me so

You're driving me insane mom

My minds about to go

I'm only a little child

Afraid and lost and cold

But that's not me it's Sally

I'm strong and brave and bold

And now no one can hurt me

I'll kill anyone that tries

But so many people scare me

I always wipe my eyes

And so many nights are lonely

I go to bed and cry

I cool and calm and confident

And everything is fine

I socialize and party

My life is mighty fine

But nobody ever likes me

My life's a fragile mine

I'll just play by myself

No use to cry or wine

The hands are coming towards me

I want to run and hide

I'm really scared and frightened

And yet I dare not cry

Cause mom you really scare me

And I'm lost without a past

I can't remember nothin'

My life's gone by so fast

I know I need some help now

Will someone help me please

I had such a painful childhood

I'm begging on my knees

Locked up in a closet

Told not to do what you did

Afraid of what was coming

And what was left and hid

Oh mom I couldn't bear it

This is what you did

The people who are inside me

Came to rid me of your pain

And now if someone loves me

My blood congeals within my veins

It took a lot of suffering

To undo what happened, so long ago

I never will forgive you

Or your idea of raising hell

But I put your past behind me

Without you I'm doing swell
