In photographs of days gone by

I see a sparkle in my eye

Now my eyes are full of pain

The light inside them starts to wane

What happened to those joyful years

The vestige of them disappears

Innocent and full of life

Oblivious to coming strife

Then came the day she married you

Why'd you stab me through and through

Called me names like dumb and weak

And "stupid, worthless, little freak"

Abused me, broke me, made me cry

Made me wish that I could die

Did it feel good to make me fear

Convince me I'm not worth your care

Did you feel strong when I would break

You'd do whatever it would take

You made me grow up way too fast

Forget about my cherished past

Now that boy's become a man

Who sees right through your wicked plan

But I don't wish the same on you

The awful things you put me through

I only hope before you die

You'll regret the sins of days gone by
