To all the people I don't see anymore
With their shoulda-woulda-couldas
And their heavy vice of blame
Countin' many ways they thought I was shamed
"Why didn't you?" she asked with frown
When I hoped someone would throw him a dinner
"Clearly you didn't do enough.
You are a bad, bad daughter.
It was more important you treated your father's whims
Than to spare your own life."
(You shoulda been with him)
Spare your own life
(You shoulda been with him)
"I lost my job while I was undergoing treatments"
It seemed to fall on deaf ears
Though there was a slight retraction of the brow
And the dropping of her silly jaw
The yelling and the blame
When I ran for my life
In what only appeared to be
One of those "everything all works out in the end"
Those nasty, nasty, nasty accusations
Sudden rudeness and cold
"Who the hell are you?" I wondered
And at long last, I finally knew
And it all comes down to one thing
It all comes down to one thing
It all comes down to one thing
One dark truth that echoes them all
You never cared about me one bit
You never cared about me one bit
You never cared about me one bit, no
But I got news for ya, boo
And your fingers pointin' blame
And your shamey-shamey-shames
I don't care what you think
I don't care what you say
Cause I'm goin' the fuck away
And I'll never, ever be back, bitch
So now that I'm gone, I have to wonder
Who you'll point your fingers at now
When you're left alone in a shaded room
Shaking your head and tut-tutting to yourself
Don't worry, you'll be okay
Cause life always finds a way
And some other sorry sod
Some other sorry sod's gonna come knockin'
Some other sorry sod's gonna come a-knockin'
Some other sorry sod's gonna come a-knockin'
On your door
On your door
On your door
Before too long
