Lyrics

I can't believe I lost my job
Because my daughter had an argument
Not when we can't pay the rent
I know, mom—
Do you think I'm happy scrubbing floors
To barely pay the bills your father owes?
Well, that's not the way that it goes
Forget it!
Hey! I'm not through
Delilah, listen to me
I'm not through
You never let me speak
I don't know why
No matter how hard I try
It's always the same batch of disappointment
Nothing in life's ever fair
And I'm not through
But, mom, if you would just listen to what actually happened today at the—
I never meant to end up here
I miss my house, my kid, the life he stole
And feeling like I had a role
Yeah, me too
But life is not some fairytale
It isn't magic if you marry well
In some crazy version of hell
I can't listen to this right now!
Well, I'm not through
Don't wanna argue with you
No, I'm not through
Don't wanna blame you
Please just try to take it easy on me
I used to be needed for everything
And now you don't need me at all
And I'm not through
What is that?
Dad sent this
Your father sent this?
Yeah
He sent this to me?
No, not to you
He sent this to us
That's exactly the thing I do not need to see!
Mom, wake up
Get over yourself
I'm angry, too
It's not just you
Please! You're still a child
You can't understand
I'm not a child! I understand plenty, I got stuck with you!
You what?
I'm (You're) not through
Exactly, that's the point, mom
I'm (You're) not through
Instead you're acting like the world is through
You know, you used to care
But now, you are barely aware
You're always way too cut up in yourself to notice
Anyone!
But I'm not through
