You're away, you are back, we are not talking
I'm silent, you're yelling, I can't release it
He had nothing to give, he had no sense of care

He was out, he was drunk, he was beaten
I was scared, feeling hurt, always weaker
I had nothing to lose, he had nothing to gain

You're no good, you're a wuss, you're a loser
when he drank he became the abuser
he created wounds that never healed
I'm stuck on a road going nowhere
I'm lost, in the dark, endless desert
where were you, when I needed you

He's not there, never there
his absence taught me not to care

I'm stronger, breath freely
lost my grim, you've released me
I'm not stumbling like I was before
I was stuck on a road going nowhere
I was lost, in the dark, endless desert
You were gone, when I needed you

He's not there, never there
his absence taught me not to care

I was so lost for so long
your words got under my skin
I was so lost for so long
your words made me feel so small
I was just a kid
I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong

He's not there, never there
his absence taught me not to care
