Broken Home Lyrics

Once there was a

Five year old

Crying hiding

In the back seat

While the parents

Up front

Driving fighting saw his

Mom push dads

Head against the window

He pulled the E- brake

Told her to walk home

See what's fucked up

Shit like that

Has gotten normal

Broken homes

Kids witnessing their parents

Make each other miserable

They don't address

The issue so the

Tension builds

When it blows

You get two

Bitter souls so rage-ful

I remember the night

When it truly ended

Was eating cereal

Watching cartoons

In my room

Heard screaming

In the kitchen

Two a.m mom barely

Getting home from

The club dad was

Pissed she didn't

Say shit

Two minutes later

Hearing glass shattering

Another sad story about

Love becoming so toxic

Another sad story about

Love becoming so toxic

Another broken home

How do you cope?

Another broken home

I'm loosing hope

Couple years after that

The kid was living

With his dad

And new mom

The love in the house

Was real strong they

Had a few more kids

Seemed like they

Would last

But you'd be wrong

17 years later

And they can't

Stand each other

Can't wait to separate

Feeling miserable

Can't take it no more

Only one reason

Why they put up with it

For this long but

It's too much now

It's not worth it

When the kids

Only see how bad they

Treat each other

They shouldn't think

That it's ok

To disrespect their partner

The cycle needs to end

Before the damage

Goes any further

Never thought they

Have a broken home

Never thought they'd be

Another sad story about

Love becoming so toxic

Another sad story about

Love becoming so toxic

Another broken home

How do you cope?

Another broken home

I'm loosing hope
