Somehow I can't forget, you picked my feet off the ground
You pushed my face in, and I nearly drowned
What did that teach me?

And I just won't forget, you were just mean from the start
You'd leave me bleeding in the park after dark
What did that teach me?

And somehow I can't forget, you'd laugh right into my tears
You'd call me sissy, then you'd call me a queer
What did that teach me?

And I just won't forget how it just made you feel good
To snap my bones like they were balsa wood
What did that teach me?

And somehow I didn't forget, I found out right where you live
I rang the buzzer and I let myself in
All that you taught me

And I will never forget the look of shock on your face
I pulled the trigger, and your life was erased
What did that teach you?
