Affected

Laying in the light of only the tv last night
  Weeping holding eachother thinking it's not right
You subjected him to things he should never have seen
  And now he gets it with all the little tears I clean
His little boy face let down
  looking at his sad little frown
There is nothing I can possibly say
   I can't make all this go away
Lost all his respect with the things you do
   But still he's trying to keep on loving you
His brown eyes will never see you the same
   I hope you are embarrassed and feel the shame
I'm his mommy and when you do those things
   He understands all the pain it brings
How dare you make me have to choose
   Because my son is the one who has to lose
For this I hate you with all that I am
   How dare you hurt me and my little man
Even one day he will start to give up on you
   I sit here day after day knowing he is blue
The only thing I can do is let him call you and speak his mind
   I know that if you keep it up it's only a matter of time
Before he stops trying to see the good inside
   Down to the floor his poor little heart will slide
I won't talk this over no longer hanging by a thread
   Nice to know you are there for him as he hangs his head
But don't you dare lie to him and tell him you're gonna change
   Don't throw him into this and put him beside me in this cage
Stop trying to make it seem as if it is my fault
   Just because I brought it all to a hault
Give him credit even though you know he is just 8
   or Someday it may be too little too late
