don't twist the knife

I won't forgive you for this
save the guilt trips
for your own personal relationships
the only thing we've ever shared
is DNA and 15 years
living under the same roof

You don't know me
and I don't know you
but I know what kind of man you are
and it's not one I'll be keeping around
for potential good times

When the dust settles on this
sliver of our lives
I don't expect to see you again

I don't know why you never
really loved me
with the same heartache
I loved you with
and the truth is
maybe we were always too different
to have any relationship beyond
weddings, funerals
and depressing Christmas parties

I won't forgive you for this
save the guilt trips
for someone else

I'm not this family's
little bitch anymore
