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
