He's nothing like you Sometimes he seems a little strange And he's done bad things too The kind of things you couldn't think of He's born to abuse The violence excites him He's wired that way Sometimes you get ahead of it And sometimes you're in the thick of all his anger and pain ♪ I've seen such rage It's embraced me, then squeezed all The blood from my brain It kills me the instant I feel it begin And like a doll, I stand lifeless And let it pour in And I say stop Over and over Over and over 'Til it all fades ♪ I'm not like you I've learned to teeter on the edge And I fall down and bruise Then make the climb back to the edge Like I've never been blue I take it, I've made it I'm wired that way I never seem to get ahead of it I'm always in the thick of all of his sorrow and blame ♪ I could never save you Just finally leave who I loved 'til the end
