Divorce (Song)

Oh father, father, do tell me about mother

Tell me about how he stands between me and my brother

Oh mother, mother, tell me about father

Tell me about how he hurts you when you just want to be together

I am not going to lie, it hurts, dear father.

When she moved away she took a part of me with her.

I want to say I'm okay and just provide a shoulder to cry on

But I can't support when I have no truth to rely on

You bash at each other in heated debate

Telling me of the traits that you hate.

You are both convinced that this is because of the other

You never bother to see the good intent in each other.

You both are convinced that you were never at fault

But it is this mentality that is causing our downfall

You can rant at me, I enjoy the knowledge to lean on

But do allow me to share my logical opinion.

Oh father, father, do tell me about mother

Tell me about how he stands between me and my brother

Oh mother, mother, tell me about father

Tell me about how he hurts you when you just want to be together

"I'll file a divorce if they even try it again"

Is what you both claim clearly in a lot of pain

He says: "There is nowhere to go but downhill"

But he underestimates my mother's dominating will.

"I love him but he needs to understand that is still my house"

She claims, hiding away in an apartment to test her spouse

Tell me, mother, why do you expect him to come running back

When every conversation between you two ends in a panic attack?

Your arms must be open, your mind must be understanding

If there is the slightest chance of my father returning

Sure he has made his mistakes, as we all have

Just don't expect him to change in a week and a half.

Oh father, father, do tell me about mother

Tell me about how he stands between me and my brother

Oh mother, mother, tell me about father

Tell me about how he hurts you when you just want to be together

"To be honest, I don't think our marriage will make it."

He says, "Both of us are spending our time ending it."

She says, "It happens again and I'm filing for divorce"

It seems that nobody can take this pain anymore

I can't stand to watch my family leave,

I remember when she promised me that she would never leave,

Yet here we are, our minds so far from comfort

Here we are, so close yet so far apart

Here I am, watching another mother leave

Somehow still wearing my heart on my sleeve

And comforting the stressed individuals around me

Even when, living in this hell, I can hardly breathe

Oh father, father, do tell me about mother

Tell me about how he stands between me and my brother

Oh mother, mother, tell me about father

Tell me about how he hurts you when you just want to be together

Oh mother, how I miss you...

Oh father, how I love you...
