You're alone in your bedroom Hiding from the world, staring at the ceiling
Mother said 'he'll be home soon' But he never was, and I knew how she was feeling
You always let him down; 'you'd never be like him' He'd always break you, never let you win No matter what you said, he'd always disagree You swore that one day you would be ...better than him...one day you'd win
You're hiding out in the cellar Aching and ashamed, covering up the bruises
And then he would tell her How I tripped and hurt my head, how I'd always be a loser
You're all alone in your bedroom How could you learn to care, when nobody cares for you
Mother said he'd be home soon But he never came, as for me...he didn't have to...
