"Lost Forever" Lyrics

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
