I followed my gut and it led me here  I won't crawl back on my wounded knees  You knew the outcome and the pain you'd cause  I don't feel sorry for you  I won't stand and watch you pretend to be a mom  I won't let your addictive genes spill into my family's half-full glass  I gave you another chance, yet you failed another time  I can take care of myself and the family you left behind    Because of you I've started over  Because of you I know how far I can go  Because of you I know what it feels like  Because of you I don't want to feel it again    You didn't have to hear the cries when you left  I stopped caring about 'cuz you walked away  We don't wait for your calls anymore  I won't be the fool again  I won't allow us to be sucked into your needle  And plunged into what's left of your life  I won't let them rely on the hope of you coming back  I gave you another chance, yet you failed another time  I can take care of myself and the family you left behind    [CHORUS]    Now it's your turn, you've got to do it on your own  Like I've done it my whole life! How does it feel?   You've clouded the vision of what a mom should be  You'd rather live with that, then live with us???     Because of you... [x4]  I've started over... I know how far I can go  I know what it feels like... I don't want to feel it again x2
