The key to my survival was never in much
doubt the question was how
I could keep sane trying to find away out
Things were never easy for me peace
of mind was hard to find and I needed
a place where I could hide somewhere I could call mine
I didn't think much about it til it
started happened all the time soon
I was living with the fear everyday
of what might happen that night
I couldn't stand to hear the crying
of my mother and I remember when
I swore that would be the
Last they'd see of me
And I never went home again they
say time is a healer and now
my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk me he
looked me straight in the eyes
You're no son you're no son of mine
You're no son you're no son of mine
You walked out you left us
behind and you're no son
You're no son of mine
Oh his words how they hurt me
I'll never forget it and as the time it went by
I lived to regret it
You're no son you're no son of mine
but where should I go and what should
I do you're no son no son of mine but
I came here for help
I came here for you

Well the years they passed slowly
I thought about him everyday what would
I do if we passed on the street would
I keep running away in and out of hiding
places soon I'd have to face the facts
we'd have to sit down and talk it over
and that would mean going back
they say time is a healer and now
my wounds are not the same
I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk me
he looked me straight in the eyes
You're no son you're no son of mine
You're no son you're no son of mine
you walked out you left us behind
and you're no son you're no son of mine
oh his words how they hurt me
I'll never forget it and as the time it went by
I lived to regret it
You're no son you're no son of mine
But where should I go and what should I do
You're no son you're no son of mine
But I came here for help
I came here for you
You're no son you're no son of mine
But I came here for help
ah yeh ah yeh ah yeh no son
You're no son no son no son
no son no son no son no son.
