One Sided


You feel the guilt

Of wanting to live your life

Putting it on us

So maybe you can feel alright

 

Throwing in our faces

That you didnt have to

Take us in and raise us.

Not telling, but yelling

About how much you sacrifice.

But thats a choice you made.

And to hold us to blame,

It's just cruel, it's not right.

 

I know damn well

That you know the difference

Between what's wrong

And what is right.

So why do you always

Bring that up

In the middle of a fight?

 

We didn't have a choice

You do,

Yet you still hold us to blame

For god's sake

I was only 2!

 

You decided our future

Before we ever could

Made me hate the man 

Who made me

Just because you could

Now I know

It's only because you hated him

 

He took your daughter

And "ruined" her

But is that true?

You told me lies about him

And I believed you!

 

Everything has to go your way

Becuase if it doesn't 

What...?

The world might sway?

You just dont like the fact

That your not the only one

Who actually has a say.
