It's all a façade. Everything's a front. Lyrics

You see my mother and father would yell across the room

They'd try not to show their strife or give the audience a clue

Cause they didn't mean it

Life just was that way

The sickness was bringing my mother down

And my dad raising us children while still working

I can only imagine what home must've felt like

How hard

So I said I'd grow up as fast as I can

Try to save what we have here

I'm only human and so are you

Let's do what we have to do

A rocky foundation like any good artist has

I thought I'd try my luck and see where I end up

Not too good at school, but I could count to four

So I decided to jump town

I went out to LA where it's all a facade

Then over to New York where everything's a front

I'm about to break down where ends meet

My pop called to ask how I was doing and I said

I'd grow up as fast as I can

Try to save what we have here

I'm only human and so are you

Let's do what we have to do

He told me he had a heart attack

And two month's later my mother passed

Found myself on my knees crying out that I'm so blessed

That it wasn't much worse

You see we've all got our stories of ups and downs

And here I am singing my heart out

I'm even married now, trying not to pass these wrongs along

Everyday

So I said I'd grow up as fast as I can

Try to save what we have here

I'm only human and so are you

Lets do, lets do what we have to do

What we have to do
