In his childhood memories   A belt and bruises   He thought he could forget   The times he had abused him   Promises made to him self   That he would never hit   Anybody else      All that he wanted was   Love from he who brought them up but   He just could not understand   He brought his friends home just to   Make sure he was not alone 'cause   Dad was a violent man      Every night he goes to sleep   But he's not lonely   He's got a wife and kids   And a promise that he can't keep   Past memories he can't forget   The dad he had become   Was a dad that made his children sad?      All that they wanted was   Love from he who brought them up but   He just could not understand   They brought their friends home just to   Make sure he was not alone 'cause   Dad was a violent man      Beaten up he beats his son   When something turn out wrong   He screams so hard he blows a lung   Past memories he can't forget   The promise he had made   It just turned out to be a lie      All that they wanted was   Love from he who brought them up but   He just could not understand      That's not what you deserve
