If only I could change things,
Back to the way things were,
I can wish and wish,
For the rest of my life,
But my parents will never love each other.
Do you know how much it hurts?
To know that your parents,
Couldn't be left together,
Without starting a fight?
It's taken me a long time,
To understand, to accept,
That when I come home,
My dad will never be there.
Do you know how much it hurts?
To come home with good news,
And have to pick up the phone,
Or wait until Sunday,
Until you can tell your dad?
And before you say,
You've lived like this for nine years,
Cant you just deal with it,
No I can't 'just deal with it,'
You go home to your perfect family,
You have no idea what its like,
So don't act like you understand.
