Yeah

Just get this off my chest, man

Yeah

When I was eight years old I saw my parents get divorced

Then a couple years passed and we were in and out a court

I was broken and distraught, life taught me to be mature

But my heart was broken early 'cause everything that I saw

Seven thirty Friday, that's Daddy knocking the door

We saw my Dad on weekends, that's nothing less, nothing more

Christmas was the worst time, torn between the both sides

Saw my sister crying that day, that's when my soul died

Looking at my bredrens like I wish I had your life

Your Mommy loves your Daddy and everything's looking fine

Mine can't even conversate for even five minutes without

Getting in an argument, but I just ride with it

Now I make my bed, but I don't ever lie in it

Always on the move like every five minutes

From Daddy's and then to Mommy's

then Mommy's and then to Dad's

Mommy did all of the packing so everything's in the bag

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

Yeah, see I was praying they would get back together

Like Lord, really, is that such a big task?

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

Yeah, see I was praying they would get back together

Like Lord, really, is that such a big task?

I used to get down on my knees and pray

that they'll get back together

Mommy left the house and she left my Daddy, you let her

That's exactly what she told us

she told us it's for the better

I never read the letter, the devil's a homewrecker

Me and Dee-Dee suffered, we made it through cold weather

Dealing with Mom's pressure if only they'd known better

I remember vividly walking up to our new house

Momma held my hand and she told me 'This is for you, now'

I asked my Mother when is Daddy coming home

She told me she doesn't know, knew it was set in stone

Knew he was never coming, my bruises were never shown

My house was never a home, they never spoke on the phone

And I remember like it's yesterday

'Look what the pressure made

You made a king, you made a queen, you can be proud of that'

'I wish you treated Mother better, just from looking back

Don't take this personal

I wish you would've stayed with Dad'

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

Yeah, see I was praying they would get back together

Like Lord, really, is that such a big task?

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

It broke my heart to see my parents apart

Yeah, see I was praying they would get back together

Like Lord, really, is that such a big task?

Yeah

Was that too much to ask?

I don't know, man

Yeah, yeah, yeah
