Life ain't all it seems
See changes in our world
We dwell on broken dreams
Do damage to our soul
It hurts to be alone
Weren't meant to live alone
Life ain't all it seems
See changes in our world
We dwell on broken dreams
Do damage to our soul
It hurts to be alone
Weren't meant to live alone
One year old I don't remember who said what
Why she left or why he yelled
I bet I couldn't even talk
Still it hurts me every time
I even give a remote thought
My parents spilt when I was young they didn't know what they had spawned
Yeah
That's a curse that I've been walking with
Urged to know what happened yet I just don't feel like bothering
Mama says she caused it she's the sweetest thing I know
Dad don't talk about it guess he learned to let it go
Had to bounce from car to car
Had to go from house to house
I saw two different sides
With God and one without
Every other weekend knew my dad would pick me up
We learned to enjoy life taught me how to make it fun
Then the time was up
I would spend my weeks praying
See my mama cry that would happen on the daily
Hate to see her hurt didn't really know why
Because I was alive she didn't want another guy
Called my dad up asked if he would take her back
After that call yeah we never went back
Even though I'd get to see him i still felt he wasn't there
My kids feeling the same always been my greatest fear
Life ain't all it seems
See changes in our world
We dwell on broken dreams
Do damage to our soul
It hurts to be alone
Weren't meant to live alone
Life ain't all it seems
See changes in our world
We dwell on broken dreams
Do damage to our soul
It hurts to be alone
Weren't meant to live alone
Now a days things are different
I adjusted
Me and mom know that God's the only thing we put our trust in
Another divorce later got a sibling in my life
As far as my dads concerned
I'm still sad he never tried
Cause come Christmas time
It's a different vibe
As I'm missing part of my life
Just sick and tired
Of the fact that I
Couldn't step into that last fight
See my moms side of the family praising God for all the gifts
See my dads side drinking bottles right in front of all they kids
I still love em
Ain't no judging
When the pain hits
I don't function
And these cycles
Of depression
Be affecting
I'm digressing
And damn
Why do I feel so lonely
I got family in my house but I feel like they don't know me
Cause I'm masking my emotions
Trying to hide the fact I'm hopeless
Still suffer from the fact that my mom and dad are broken
Although it hurt forever
And it even hurts me now
They both raised me from a far
I just hope I make them proud
Life ain't all it seems
See changes in our world
We dwell on broken dreams
Do damage to our soul
It hurts to be alone
Weren't meant to live alone
Life ain't all it seems
See changes in our world
We dwell on broken dreams
Do damage to our soul
It hurts to be alone
Weren't meant to live alone
