As I'm taking you back to your mom, I can see the weight in your eyes
The hurt you feel is silent, as if no end in sight
You try to stay strong while feeling torn in two, telling us what we want to hear
Not wanting to hurt us by telling us how you feel
Your mom never lived this life, she'll never understand
She grew up with both her parents hand in hand
She buys you things to try and replace what you're missing
Trying to make up for her decision, you put on a smile trying to hide the hurt you feel
Yeah, I know what you're going through, cause I've been there too
If your mother only knew what it's like to grow up living this way
In a home that's torn apart, not seeing your mom and dad together every day
While your heart does its best, trying to watch what you say
Telling both parents you don't want to go, you'd much rather stay
Just know I've walked this road, I know just how you feel
This is not what I wanted for you, I hope you know that I tried
Cause it killed me when your mother said goodbye
It's not the same around here, the emptiness that fills the air
The love that we once shared
Sometimes we hurt so bad that we talk bad about each other, talk about them as if we don't care
In front of you it's not fair, it's something we shouldn't do
I know it's hard on you, we know you love us both the same
And our love for you will never change, it's only mom and dad to blame
If your mother only knew what it's like to grow up living this way
In a home that's torn apart, not seeing your mom and dad together every day
This was not what I had planned, this is not what I wanted for you
As I'm taking you back to your mom, I can see the weight in your eyes
The hurts you feel with silence, as if no end in sight
You try to stay strong while feeling torn in two
Just hang in there, I'm right here with you, together we will make it through
If your mother only knew what it's like to grow up living this way
In a home that's torn apart, not seeing your mom and dad together every day
This was not what I had planned, this is not what I wanted for you
Just hang in there, I'm right here with you, together we will make it through
As I'm taking you back to your mom, I can see the weight in your eyes
The hurts you feel with silence, as if no end in sight
You try to stay strong while feeling torn in two
Just hang in there, I'm right here with you, together we will make it through
