He is gone and it really matters
He's the one who saved us then
Not for him we'd be gone forever
He's one of the better men
Mother was a very real handful
Narcissistic in an angry way
Oh so needy and smothering
Hated children is what I'd say
Left alone with her was perilous
You never knew just what she'd do
When he could he'd protect us from her
Thank you father we were there with you
He is gone and it really matters
He's the one who saved us then
Not for him we'd be gone forever
He's one of the better men
I got older, didn't bother me
Until such time when it hit me hard
I remember things she did to us
I must admit I am completely scarred
He is gone and it really matters
He's the one who saved us then
Not for him we'd be gone forever
He's one of the better men
Brother always got it worse than me
Father did the best that he could do
Many times she tried to take his life
Forgotten days are very few
He is gone and it really matters
He's the one who saved us then
Not for him we'd be gone forever
He's one of the better men
He is gone and it really matters
He's the one who saved us then
Not for him we'd be gone forever
He's one of the better men
