Learn your son and adopt his love You never loved me, you never knew me You waged your war with him on us You made yourself neglect me He always found a way to forgive and forget I've just learned to live without you I've learned how to not love you I don't need your lesson of hate I don't need your legacy of pain I don't want your overwhelming pride Without you in my life, i'm fine Without you in my life, i'm fine You're lost forever Passed down from stranger to father And then from father to me Your lesson of hate Beaten nightly into me Your shadow still hangs over him Your eyes still look through him Your words still cut into him As he now tries to understand me You never tried to understand him You never tried to know me You'll never love me You're lost forever You're lost forever You're lost forever You're lost forever You couldn't respect his mind You couldn't fathom his drive Too bad, and now you never will And you'll never understand him You never tried to know me You'll never understand me You'll never love me You're lost forever You'll never have respect from me You took your war out on me You'll never love me I will never love you You're lost forever You're gone as quickly as you came A mere passing thought in a blanket day A vengeful hate-filled sick old man I will never love You're lost forever
