Disowned to The Bone
Two years and a day have since past
A relationship based on hate could never last
You cast me out
Although you never had a reason to doubt
I was your daughter through and through
But there wasn't much more that I could do
To make you love my poor soul
Your anger had taken its toll
I remember the night you had made the desision
Cutting me down with such precision
"No longer, no more"
"That's what you get for being a whore"
"Eight hours to pack"
"We've cut you enough slack"
"By morning I expect you gone"
"Or you won't see the light of dawn"
I never asked to live this kind of life
I never thought I'd depend on a knife
I walked out your front door
Afraid and weak, you left my heart sore
Two years and a day have since past
A relationship based on hate could never last
You said I was dead and you're being weak
When you won't admit a corpse can't speak
