You Know
It’s your fault, you know.
You did it to yourself.
I don’t care to see you, you know.
It’s all your fault.
You abandoned me, you know.
You left him alone.
He’s had to raise me, you know.
Raise me all alone.
Dad was sick, you know.
But you didn’t care.
You can’t just suddenly decide, you know.
Don’t you understand?
Nothing matters to you, you know.
Suddenly you want to come.
You can’t do that, you know.
It’s been too long.
It’s been twelve years, you know.
Just way too long.
I don’t even know you, you know.
And now you seem to care.
I don’t want you around, you know.
I don’t remember you.
Can’t just come popping in, you know.
Leave us alone.
I don’t owe you a thing, you know.
You owe me everything.
Twelve years worth, you know.
But I don’t want you.
You’re pretty pathetic, you know.
To do that to him.
I can’t stand you, you know.
So stay away from me.
Dad didn’t do anything, you know.
I realized it on my own.
You did it to yourself, you know.
Why did you do it?
I never want to see you, you know.
Unless I have to.
That’s my decision, you know.
Not my dad’s.
Stay away from us, you know.
So we can keep our peace.
I’d like to have a mom, you know.
But we’ve been fine without you.
We will live on, you know.
We don’t need you.
We’ve lived fine without you, you know.
We will be just fine.
We’ll live as always, you know.
Our lives are pretty good.
You are just not needed, you know.
So just stay away.
I don’t want to see you, you know.
I don’t know you.
You haven’t been here, you know.
And you expect me to forgive you?
You haven’t been here, you know.
And you did it to yourself.
I don’t forgive you, you know.
So don’t expect it.
Our lives are fine without you, you know.
You just aren’t needed.
You are a pathetic person, you know.
Don’t ever come around here.
There’s nothing you can give me, you know.
Nothing you can do.
No need for trying me, you know.
I won’t forget what you did.
It’s your fault, you know.
You did it to yourself.
I don’t care to see you, you know.
It’s all your fault.
