I am now pleasant that you're no longer here

You can't hurt me now so don't come near

You were the beast that taught me my fear

You've broken me up, you've drove me insane

You've given me heartache and burning pain

You've left me to drown in pouring rain

You've criticized everything I've ever done

You crushed every chance of my childhood fun

Yet in my own way I have won

Mother, why did you try to control me?

I'm not under your grasp, I'm now free

Although I'm gone you won't let me be

You wonder why I wouldn't live with you

The answer was obvious I thought you knew

You frighten me, you know that's true

He was smart when he got away

You hurt him worse more than words can say

My life took an upbeat on that day

When you two divorced you seemed more frigid

I couldn't help no matter what I did

So form your presence I went and hid

Maybe one day it will all change

Maybe one day it won't be so strange

Maybe one day I'll be in your range
