I tried so hard to give you Everything that I got You tried to hard to convince me That you were everything that you were not But I think I see it through now I'm so very over you now So ve-e-e-e I hope you see it through now I'd throw you into a stampeding crowd I hope you know that I'm over it I hope you know that I don't care now I hope you know that I'm over it I can exist without you now I gave you so many luxuries I spent so many racks And you didn't even care Cause you didn't even give it back It was a one man show It was a one way road I would light a candle And on the flame you would blow You got into so many fights You would always think you were right And you couldn't be convinced, otherwise You couldn't even copy the homework You didn't understand the technique You would say you would borrow But you would keep In the blink of an eye You would dissapear Ghost me for weeks And say you were right here I gave you so many luxuries I spent so many racks And you didn't even care Cause you just never gave it back I gave you so much attention You simply can't say the same It would be nice if you had more than half of your brain Decency and empathy, is what you lack It's evident cause you just never gave it back Oh (Never gave me nothing back) Oh (Never gave me nothing back) Some things only God can forgive If I had the choice I wouldn't want you to live That was pretty messed up I should go to confession But I also hope you have really severe depression (Depression) If you didn't get the memo, I hate you If you didn't get the memo, you smell like poo If you didn't get the memo, I hate you, (Oh oh oh oh, die die die) I hate you I hate you (Oh oh oh) So many luxuries and so many racks You didn't even care to give it back (I hate you) I hate you (Go die in a ditch) I hate you I hate you

Born in the heat of the desert My mother died giving me life Deprived of the love of a father Blamed for the loss of his wife You know Lord I've been in a prison For something that I never done It's been one hill after another I've climbed them all one by one But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time My woman got tired of heartaches Tired of the grief and the strife So tired of working for nothing Just tired of being my wife She took my one ray of sunshine She took my pride and my joy She took my reason for living She took my small baby boy But this time, Lord you gave me a mountain A mountain you know I may never climb It isn't just a hill any longer You gave me a mountain this time

You gave me the answer to love eternally I love you and you, you seem to like me Wherever we wander, the local folk agree I love you and you, you seem to like me Heading back to old familiar places Places where the cobwebs blow away I can't forget the airs and graces Shall we dance? This is fun We should do this more often You'll never be crowned by the aristocracy To their delight, you'd merely invite them in for a cup of tea And I love you and you, you seem to like- You seem to like-, you seem to like me

There's only one chance in a million Of a dream like this coming true And I've been told I'm not the one By everyone but you Through all my doubts and all my fears Well it seemed those clouds wouldn't ever clear You never gave up on me Oh, you never gave up on me I'm here where I was always meant to be I never gave up 'cause you never gave up on me As I stand here and look around me And think of how far we've come Your faith, it still astounds me Oh, just look at what we've done You've held me high up off the ground Every time this old world tried, tried to bring me down You never gave up on me Oh, you never gave up on me I'm here where I was always meant to be I never gave up 'cause you never gave up on me Everyone needs someone Someone to believe like you believed in me You never gave up on me No, you never gave up on me I'm here where I was always meant to be I never gave up 'cause you never gave up on me You never gave up on me Thank you, Mama
