Fourteen

I never knew my father was so broken inside our home

Until the day I found my mother crying on the floor alone

She said: How could he do this to me?

How could he do this to us?

I thought we made a promise

But he said he broke my trust

Now I'm left with these questions

Have you ever been left alone in a broken home?

Have you ever had to mediate for your parents' sake?

When we talk about love, talk about giving it up

Why are we innocent raised within conflict?

I never knew that hearts could shatter just like broken glass

'Til you proved to me that love is fragile, cracked yours in half

I just hope there's hope for me to stay home

So go ahead and call it off, go ahead and call it off

It's not just the fact that you're splitting up

It's that you're teaching me about giving up

Have you ever been left alone in a broken home?

Have you ever had to mediate for your parents' sake?

When we talk about love, talk about giving it up

Why are we innocent raised within conflict?

So I'm moving along now and

I'll carry on, trying the best that I can

Because of my father's sin

You blame your actions on him

Fighting a war within

I'm so afraid of us and counting on our heavenly

I'm on the other side, I'm finally free with no concern

You always joked with me, forgave me, and now I see

You're my potential match, you were here for me, I am fourteen

Have you ever been left alone in a broken home?

Have you ever had to mediate for your parents' sake?

When we talk about love, talk about giving it up

(Now I'm left with these questions)

Have you ever been left alone in a broken home?

Have you ever had to mediate for your parents' sake?

When we talk about love, talk about giving it up

Why are the innocent raised within conflict?
