Broken house

I live in a broken house

The people here fight at night,
And then laugh in the daylight
And they haven't forgiven or forgotten
That's why this house smells so rotten

It's standing just to maintain the image
But inside it's nothing less than a cage
Only if we could accept our mistake
Think about us, and not the stakes

I live in a broken house

Where every loud word and shout
Makes a little brick fall down
Every night I try to mend it all
And the next day, it again falls

Even star crossed lovers can go wrong
Not every love story is a love song
Fire can warm but it can also burn
The one you love, can also hold the gun

I live in a broken house
And I understand decisions are not always right
Now I understand the solution doesn't lie in a fight
Maybe it will be better if we move on and move out
Maybe it will be better to build a new house.
