Do you have to hit so hard?
Or even hit at all?
He is your one and only son
Too many years gone by
Filled with hate and neglect
There has been too much damage done
Too many late nights spent
Out drinking with your friends
He was too scared to make a stand
Everything was his fault
You disciplined with your fists
Does it make you feel like a man?
These scars will never go away
In time they cannot heal
Scarred for life he'll never forgive you
For the pain you've made him feel
The last time you came home
Drunk and ready to strike
There was a big surprise in store
He struck you with a baseball bat
He ignored your cries for help
Dead, you cannot hurt him anymore
These scars will never go away
In time they cannot heal
Scarred for life he'll never forgive you
For the pain you've made him feel
