No Son Of Mine Lyrics - We Can't Dance - Genesis

Well the key to my survival 

was never in much doubt 

the question was how I could keep sane 

trying to find a way out 

Things were never easy for me 

peace of mind was hard to find 

and I needed a place where I could hide 

somewhere I could call mine 

I didn't think much about it 

til it started happening all the time 

soon I was living with the fear everyday 

of what might happen that night

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I couldn't stand to hear the 

crying of my mother 

and I remember when 

I swore that, that would be the 

Last they'd see of me 

And I never went home again 

they say that time is a healer 

and now my wounds are not the same 

I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth 

I had to hear what he'd say 

He sat me down to talk to me 

he looked me straight in the eyes 

He said: 

You're no son, you're no son of mine 

You're no son, you're no son of mine 

You walked out, you left us behind 

and you're no son, no son of mine 

oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it 

and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it 

You're no son, you're no son of mine 

but where should I go, 

and what should I do 

you're no son, you're no son of mine 

but I came here for help, oh I came here for you 

Well the years they passed so slowly 

I thought about him everyday 

what would I do, if we passed on the street 

would I keep running away 

in and out of hiding places 

soon I'd have to face the facts 

we'd have to sit down and talk it over 

and that would mean going back 

they say that time is a healer 

and now my wounds are not the same 

I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth 

I had to hear what he'd say 

He sat me down to talk to me 

he looked me straight in the eyes 

He said: 

You're no son, you're no son of mine 

You're no son, you're no son of mine 

When you walked out, you left us behind 

and you're no son, you're no son of mine 

oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it 

and as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it 

You're no son, you're no son of mine 

But where should I go and what should I do 

You're no son, you're no son of mine 

But I came here for help, oh I was looking for you 

You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh 

You're no son - ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah, ha yeah 

You're no son, you're no son of mine - oh, oh...
