lyrics

DON'T YOU DARE
DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME NOT TO TALK ABOUT MY SON
IT'S BEEN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
AND THAT'S LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO HAVE TO HOLD MY TONGUE
HE WAS MY SON TOO
YOU CAN'T JUST ERASE HIM
PRETENDING HE NEVER EXISTED--IT'S SUCH A CRIME
WELL YOU'RE SMOTHERING HIS MEMORY
WHAT KIND OF MOTHER DO YOU PRETEND TO BE?
WITH THIS SILENCE,
IT'S LIKE YOU'RE KILLING HIM A SECOND TIME

I CAN'T LOVE YOU WITHOUT ERASING HIM
WITHOUT ERADICATING EVERY SINGLE TRACE OF HIM
'CAUSE WHEN I LOOKED AT YOU I SAW WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
I SAW HIS FACE
MY CHOICE WAS CLEAR--IT WAS MY SON OR YOU
NO ROOM INSIDE MY BROKEN HEART FOR MORE THAN ONE OF YOU
SO IF YOU BRING HIM BACK THEN I AM DONE WITH YOU
HE TAKES YOUR PLACE
AND IF I COULD TOUCH HIM AGAIN
IF I COULD TALK TO HIM RIGHT NOW
IF I COULD HOLD HIM IN MY ARMS
I WOULD ERASE EVERY SPECK OF YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW WIPE YOU
OFF OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH JUST LIKE THAT YOU'D BE GONE

I CAN'T LOVE YOU
NOT NOW, NOT ANYMORE
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BETWEEN US NOW THAT'S STILL WORTH
FIGHTING FOR
WE SCREWED IT UP TOO MUCH
IT'S TIME TO CLOSE THE DOOR
AND LEAVE NO TRACE
