lyrics

I used to dream that you’d become the dad I never had
Someone who’d look after me, come through when times were bad
A man to guard my mother’s heart, complete our family
But you were only using her to get a stab at me

Chorus:
Your virtual virtue, your make-believe soul
Took vicious advantage in taking their toll
Your counterfeit conscience, your replica heart
Can wear me and tear me but never apart

With empathy and flattery you stole my love and trust
Then you cashed them in and ground my dreams into the dust
Got me drunk, defenses down, and pushed yourself inside
I kept breathing, my heart kept beating, but something in me died

(Chorus)

Eight times more you cornered me, then vanished from our home
Knowing I had found the strength to make our secret known
Someone tried to tell me that forgiveness is divine
I will live, but not forgive -- that liberty is mine

(Chorus x2)

Never, never, never, never apart!
