Snow falls this time, for a little bit
Inside, there's a little kid
Opens here eyes just weeks after Christmas
Ask mum "Where is dad? Why's he missing this?"
Love he's been gone for some time
But in her head she can't figure out why

Cos she's only young so the fights don't seem
Like it's dad being drunk every night
So he never hit mum on that Christmas eve
Cos her ears block out every household scream
And a broken home is safer for a girl growing up
Than a man that swore that he wasn't sleeping with the girl next door
So he had to go and he said

Darling why'd you think I do this?
I've been fucked in the head since I was a kid
And that's not an excuse it just is what it is
And that girl means nothing, it was just a fling
And I won't do this no more
Cos I'll fix up and mend this home, but you won't walk out that door

Rain pours this time, just a little
Outside of a young boy's bedroom window
Sounds of knocking on his door crescendo
His dad won't stop cos he's going mental
All cos he's drunk and he's high
That little boy is scared that he will die

And he's only young so the fights just seem
Like it's him in the ring with a king so he never hits back
He just cries then leaves
And it's this that has led to the life he leads now
And a broken home might be the cause of the man that this boy has become
And all the pain to his family that he has brought so he has to go, but now he says

Darling why'd you think I do this?
I've been fucked in the head since I was a kid
And that's not an excuse it just is what it is
And the girl means nothing, it was just a fling
And I won't do this no more
Cos I'll fix up and mend this home, but you won't walk out that door

Daylight breaks right through a window pane
Onto a daughter broken because her dad ain't the same
She used to see him every day but now things have changed
Because mummy is getting sick of daddy's little games
But little Lola thought that that's how dad's supposed to play
She didn't realize that she was not supposed to lay
And could say no to dad and tell mum and she'd hopefully be able to get help when she catches daddy go to rape
And daddy may be fucked up
Cos his dad was a rough cunt
But that is no excuse to give the ones around you tough love
You have a life and it is up to you to make the most of
And some are dealt a bad hand but that means that you must muster up
Some kind of strength to make sure that all of your loved ones
Have it better than you because otherwise it is just a vicious cycle of people tryna climb out of the gutter
But dad will never change so it's just Lola and her mother

Father why did you do all this
Laying hands on my mum, in the bathroom I hid
And you've got no excuse for the things that you did
Cos it's me you abused when I was a kid
And I won't do this no more
So you're locked up, my life's my own
Now my future is secure
