Two Houses

Broken by a broken home I hate to see my dad alone

I cherish all the times that we spend

I only see him on the weekends

Mama called me up to say

She never pictured life this way

In an empty house she walks through

With nobody there to talk to

They're living separate lives and it hurts to see

What if what's best for them is worse for me

Two parents, two houses

New people, new surroundings Dad moved to a new town and had to learn to live without him

Two bedrooms, two birthdays

Mum had to change her surname

Never had a second first date

And I think she's lonely most days

It was the right thing for mum and dad to do

But when my parents split it split me in two

First time i saw my brother cry

Was when we had to say goodbye

To the home that we grew up in

Guess we never saw it coming

We're living separate lives now we moved away

But i think about him everyday

Two parents, two houses

New people, new surroundings Dad moved to a new town and had to learn to live without him

Two bedrooms, two birthdays

Mum had to change her surname

Never had a second first date

And I think she's lonely most days

I get it now but at first i didn't

Thought that love was breeze it isn't

Couple heart breaks in, good riddance

At the top of the stairs I'd listen

All the fights all the tears I witnessed

I'm so fucking scared of commitment

It was the right thing for mom and dad to do

But when my parents split it split my heart in two
