Heath McNease - Pity Party lyrics

[Verse 1] His mother took her last breath and pa**ed away d**h has a way of teaching the lesson it has its day And dad didn't stay Left before Jack turned eight Now Jack has no one to love so he turns away Deceased mother and an invisible father 'Why bother' he constantly says, "I ought to be dead" His heard grows harder and darker and darker Says he'll be remembered for his premature departure It's a long fall from the roof he's standing on Luck was as tough as the concrete he landed on A life with promise ended in questions Inside his bedroom, he left this letter begging for attention it read [Hook] Pity me please, have pity on me I'm missing the things that made my living complete Please somebody feel sorry for me When I'm gone you'll be sorry you'll see [Verse 2] Katie's middle aged and overweight teeters on obesity She hopes against hope that when she eats she can be free to forget But it's ingrained in her mind, and ain't a place to hide Heart breaks inside The past shakes her life Remembers when her mother was punched and every touch that was followed by 'hush' Alcoholic stepfather with wandering hands She was just a kid, it wasn't her fault, she doesn't understand He'd beat her mom unconscious, and locked the door behind him Took Katie's innocence too, but nobody stopped him She blames herself to this day, and overeats to escape Says she has nothing to give, she lost it when she was eight And free as a bird, but thinks she's caged Mom's long gone but the memories don't seem to be fading Hear her voice over a tape player hiss The last words on her lips were this (Her last words were this) [Hook 2] Pity me please, have pity on me I'm missing the things that made my living complete Please somebody feel sorry for me When I'm gone you'll be sorry...you'll see Pity me please, have pity on me Do you really think this is how I want it to be? I'm brokenhearted please feel sorry for me When I'm gone you'll be sorry...wait and see [Verse 3] It's the stockbroker that unfortunately lost a fortune Adolescent boy crying cause he lost his girlfriend It's the janitor with six mouths to feed And a wife that says she doesn't need him and wants to leave him It's the young mom whose baby stopped breathing The father that lost his son cause he caught his dad cheating on mom It's the Vietnam vet with nothing but regrets Saw nothing but d**h, lost his brothers and his legs It's the homeless man with no socks sleeping in a cardboard box Wishing the winter and kids throwing rocks would stop These are the people that need you The wall is up but it's so easy to see through Delicate souls who need to be consoled need to be told "I'm right here if you need me to hold you" Fragile warriors searching for companionship And through your love let them see Christ with His hand on them [Hook 3] Pity them please, have pity on these They're missing the things that made their living complete They're lost with no hope, tossed to and fro They bear the cross of loss till they're broke Pity them please, have pity on these They're missing the things that made their living complete Their completion lies in Jesus Love them like Christ and they'll see Him
