Nowhere to run -
Nowhere to hide -
Out only to have a little fun, 
Then it's back to the grind.

You can't keep me around forever

The burden that is you weighs a ton - 
It's a miracle my back is still intact 
From caring for you - Remind me, am I your son 
Or your husband? Is the "crippled mother" just an act? 

You can't keep me around forever

Can't do this -
Can't do that -
A new chapter of my life starts and you hiss 
Anger is your soul - it's how you always react.

I can't stay here forever

For the first time, I found love - 
I hope our souls intertwine -
I hope Peace descends like a dove 
Upon this house - you and I are in a bind.

I won't stay single forever

Consistently a disappointment, you have a list 
Of every mistake I've made that makes you upset -
Your only child might as well not exist,
Or at least be a memorable vignette.

You shouldn't hate yourself forever

All I ask is to be let go 
Before winter comes 
And I'm buried with snow, 
Leaving you in the doldrums -
Sons won't last forever, 

But they must be on their own
