These Scars

Happily Ever Afters

I was young and naive,

When I saw my dad cry for the first time.

Love was a fairytale,

But I found out I was wrong.

I watched as my mother left us,

For another life Without us.

I was young and naive,

When the truth came out,

It crumbled me to my darkest days.

I watched as my mother went down,

She swore all she needed was love.

As I handed her beer after another.

She swore all she needed was love.

Her lovers became nameless.

I was young and naive,

When I saw my dad cry for the first time.

Thought love was a fairytale,

But I found out I was wrong.

My father was strong,

He met a woman,

Thought she was the one,

Bought her a ring.

Not too long the problems came,

She didn't want us.

My father was strong,

He wouldn't leave us.

He saw what love did when it wasn't right.

I was young and naive,

When I saw my dad cry for the first time.

Love was a fairytale,

But I found out I was wrong.

He met another woman,

Gave her a ring,

They exchanged vows,

I hope she's a good one.

Hopefully he finally found his happily ever after.

I was young and naive,

When I saw my dad cry for the first time.

Love was a fairytale,

But I found out I was wrong.

You're on your knees,

Begging to be my happily ever after,

Take the world on hand in hand,

but I don't know if I'm strong enough.
