You're a carrion crow picking on the bones Of all you suckered into loving and taking care of you You don't want to be another lost cause of theirs, do you? Do you want them to be right?
I, I raised you up I, I gave you all I could You'll never know love You'll never know trust I should have known you were a snake When I picked you up
You're the weight around our necks that keeps us tied and immobile You're the chain around our legs that keeps us from moving free You don't want to drag us all down with you, do you? Do you want to be an anchor or be a ball and chain
I, I raised you up I, I gave you all I could You'll never know love You'll never know trust I should have known you were a snake When I picked you, when I picked you up
I gave up my life when your mother died We had it coming for a long time For you to chose that fate is as much as I can take Pull another stunt like that and never show your face here again
I raised you up I gave you all I could But my mistakes were not enough You, you had to show me up
I can't watch you throw your life away When a heart that's that big breaks It leaves you thinking it's way I had it coming for a long time If this is the life you chose Without me you've got nothing to lose Go ahead but I won't be there
I, I raised you up I, I gave you all I could But my mistakes were not enough You, you had to show me up
I can't watch you throw your life away No, I won't let you throw your life away
