You bombed the ship and burned the rubble
You were supposed to care
 You should have always been there
 But you left me in the street
 Not understanding my own defeat
 And when I needed you the most
 Your voice wasn't even close
 
 I needed you to take my hand
 To do your job and understand
 But you bombed the ship that was my heart
 And gave yourself a brand new start
 
 You showed up when it was convenient for you
 And assumed there was a current to guide me through
 But you never stopped to check if I was okay
 And you never thought of your own words to say
 You just shot my hope in front of me
 Then left the body for the world to see
 
 You can call me your daughter but you will never be my mother
 Cause good-bye were the only words we ever said to one another
 And I can't smell your perfume on my sheets
 Or hear your voice singing me to sleep
 
 No I can't forgive what you've done
 But maybe I'll forget by staring at the sun
 Cause when the whole world goes blind
 No one will see through the smile you hide behind
