You resent everybody that has so much
Of the things in life that were taken away from you
So wrapped up in your misery
You never feel the love that surrounds you
So wrapped up in your misery
You never notice that life passed you by

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate

Left it all alone
Ignored by the one you need attention from
For the things in life you never achieved on your own
He can't be bothered to care for you
To hold and respect and be there for you
He can't be a real father to you
Some day he'll regret all time that went by

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
And I've always hated to see you hurt inside
So much I try to help, but you push me away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate
Locked inside a world of hate

Beaten down for as long as you remember
Your life was analyzed, criticized and dismembered
Your hopes and dreams were discouraged and severed
The pain you've endured, the suffering you've weathered

You find it so hard to pull yourself together
To face the world to your fears you surrender
You dream of a day, you'll overcome and sever
The cycle of abuse and the pain you've carried forever
The pain you've carried forever

You're not alone
There's so many others that care for you
So many things in our lives you helped us all get through
It means so much to me that you're here
To share in my life and calm my tears
It means so much to me that you're alive
As you hold my child and wipe the tears from your eyes

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
And I've always hated to see you hurt inside
So much I try to help, but you push me away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate

You've waited all your life for the pain to go away
Lock yourself inside a world that makes you hate

You resent everybody that has so much
Of the things in life that were taken away from you
