Generate meaning
1
When I was nine I learned survival
2
Taught myself not to care
3
I was my single good companion
4
Taking my comfort there
5
Up in my room I planned
6
My conquests on my own
7
Never asked for a helping hand
8
No one would understand
9
I never asked the pair who fought below
10
Just in case they said no
11
Pity the child who has ambition
12
Knows what he wants to do
13
Knows that he'll never fit the system
14
Others expect him to
15
Pity the child who knew his parents
16
Saw their faults
17
Saw their love die before his eyes
18
Pity the child that wise
19
He never asked did I cause your distress?
20
Just in case they said yes
21
When I was twelve my father moved out
22
Left with a whimper not with a shout
23
I didn't miss him, he made it perfectly clear
24
I was a fool and probably queer
25
Fool that I was I thought this would bring
26
Those he had left closer together
27
She made her move the moment he crawled away
28
I was the last the woman told
29
She never let her bed get cold
30
Someone moved in, I shut my door
31
Someone to treat her
32
Just the same way as before
33
I took the road of least resistance
34
I had my game to play
35
I had the skill and more the hunger
36
Easy to get away
37
Pity the child with no such weapons
38
Do defense
39
No escape from the ties that bind
40
Always a step behind
41
I never called to tell her all I'd done
42
I was only her son
43
Pity the child but not forever
44
Not if he stays that way
45
He can get all he ever wanted
46
If he's prepared to pay
47
Pity instead the careless mother
48
What she missed
49
What she lost when she let me go
50
And I wonder, does she know
51
I wouldn't call, a crazy thing to do
52
Just in case she said, who?
