Trio Lyrics

I didn't understand

I didn't wanna know

Why every weekend

My brother and I had to go

A different set of walls

Every couple years or so

Cause Mommy and Daddy

Don't love each other no more

Then a third set of boots

Had just walked in through the door

And I wasn't sure

What was normal anymore

Each day the sun came up

And everything was good

Had three sets of eyes

Full of love as they should

But then the moon came out

And the shadows at night

Starting poking and prodding

And things weren't right

Then came the bickering and fighting

And screaming and shouting

And chaos and madness

And overwhelming sadness

And walking on eggshells

And hearing the cracking

The tension made the pill of life

Much harder to take

Was it my fault you wore rank?

Was it my fault you changed homes?

Was it my fault that you drank?

Was it my only purpose?

To be all three of y'all's bag

To pour your trauma into?

Or am I just ungrateful

For what I was raised into?

One shielded most of the dark

One taught us right from wrong

One worked a dozen jobs

Did everything they could

Maybe I push away the good

To clear up the bad

I imprinted the negative

To learn from their mistakes

I may come off as selfish

But it's because that I care

This trio destroyed themselves

I felt I couldn't do shit

Because I was just a kid

That felt that deep down

That the safest place at home

Was never around

How did you think I would feel?

When I see that look in your eye?

Couldn't remember last night

Looked in my face and you lied

I know you loved and cared for me

And did your best to raise the best

But I can't quell the thoughts in me

That remind me you were a mess

Made me think that I was horrible

For having mixed opinions

Emotions forcing love to one who

Needs to drink to sleep at night

Emotions forcing love to one who

Needs to drink to sleep at night

I didn't understand

I didn't wanna know

Why every weekend

My brother and I had to go

A different set of walls

Every couple years or so

Cause Mommy and Daddy

Don't love each other no more

And then a third set of boots

Had just walked in through the door

And I wasn't sure

What was normal anymore
