And I’ve bottled up all of this pain
And I’ve bundled up all of these things inside
And wonders what if that was my little girl walkin down that road alone
He thinks about that little girl and the one he has at home
It’s been a month since her saw her face underneath the blood stained gown
He chokes that bottle down
In the haze of a smoky room
Never again
But I won’t let it happen again
And no one or nothing can take this away
And I’ve bottled up all of this pain
And I’ve bundled up all of these fears inside
And I swear I didn’t know
That things like this could happen to a 17-year old
I swear I didn’t want to
I just do it cause I can
That I don’t this for pleasure
She said they’d never understand
he said they never listened
I’m gonna get my money’s worth
Tonight my pretty one
But I want this one to hurt
He said don’t try to scream now
And he laid his money down
A man walked in beside her
She laid her body down
In the glare of a neon light (sign)
But I won’t let it happen again
Never again
Maybe I’m just crazy or the devil got inside
But either way my soul is gone, I’ve learned this all night
The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun
As he cries out to the heavens
I am not my father’s son
I’ve bundled up all of these fears inside
And I’ve bottled up all of this pain
And no one or nothing can take this away
I won’t let it happen again
Never again
Never again
No
Never again
