When I split from Fred
I thought why did I stay so long?
I wish I had .. I wish I hadn't...
If I had just stayed
On my medication at 21
Then I might have got back home.
But speaking to a colleague
I said that when I
Was in between jobs
(I never mentioned the hospital)
My parents made
Me do all the house work
All the time, to earn my keep
And threatened to take
My measly job seekers
As rent money
So I stayed at Freds
House at the weekend
And that's how we
Moved in together
Even though I was quite young
And she said no wonder why
And I hadn't even mentioned
How David called me
All the names under the sun
Because I had been unwell.
