Perspective Lyrics

I start to get attached to someone

And then I start to get scared

Because I'm afraid

We'll end up the same way

As my parents are

I always tell myself

I'll never be like them

But I have a temper like my mom

And sometimes I'm emotionally distant

I'm trying not to lose my mind

I'm trying not to go insane

But I can't help the way they wired up my brain

Now my perspective of love is damaged

All because I grew up

With a mom and a dad

Who would fight

At every chance they got

I hear screaming from inside my room

And I'd turn up the sound

Of the music in my ears

Just to try and drown it out

My mother always tells me

Try to find a man

That's sweet kind and caring

Unlike my dad

I want to find a love that's good

I want to find a love that's true

But I can't do that

When I'm always thinking of you

My perspective of love is damaged

All because I grew up

With a mom and a dad

Who would fight

At every chance they got

My perspective of love is damaged

All because I grew up

With a mom and a dad

Who would fight

At every chance they got

I'm not saying that it wasn't justified

But I'm not saying it was right

I'm just saying that it hurt

When I tried to stop it

And it only made things worse

My perspective of love is damaged

Even now that I'm all grown up

Because I had a mom and a dad

Who fell out of love
