Broken Family Lyrics

Two Divorced Parents.

We Lived in the Same House.

Yelling and Screaming I had to Endure.

And when you're an only Child I'm sure.

You Feel more Lonely.

Then anybody.

Else.

Remember those days I came home from School when I was 8.

And how my Mom was Drunk and there was no where to Escape.

Dad had to Protect me.

While Mom never wanted to be.

Sober.

Dad was the only one who was Clean.

Mom just got constantly Violent and Mean.

This is my Childhood.

Disjointed Memories of the Past.

That never began, and would never last.

As I recall.

My Mom trying to get me to Drink Alcohol.

When I was a Child.

But I never drank her poison.

I have Chosen.

To Leave all the Hurt Behind.

That Past.

Is Dead.

And every-time I think about the Abuse instead.

It's just too much.

I want to cry.

And Ask ''Why''?

Why did this have to Happen to me?

Why did you Beat Me when you got Drunk Mom?

Dad wasn't able to be at home with me.

Because he was Working trying to put Food on the Table.

Still a Toddler I was never able.

To just Walk away.

Dad took me with him when he had to work.

Cus Mom was Drinking always at home.

And if you called, she'd be yelling on the Phone.

Although sometimes we all Shared Great Memories.

Those were the Few.

Of many Bad.

That we all Had.

Experienced.

As a...

Broken Family.

The things I can recall went on Rapidly.

But when I reached 13.

A lot of that ended.

Mom moved back to California.

Things changed.

We got more Estranged.

(Chorus)

The Childhood I should've had.

Was never there.

As if anyone would Care.

But now I'm Glad.

All the Hell.

And Hurt is Gone.

(End of Chorus).

This is my...

Broken Family.

Madly, Madly.

So Sadly, Sadly.

But now Gladly, Gladly.

It's all over with now.

I can't even Express how.

I feel...
