I watch it take its toll in every possible behavior
Sitting in the corner hoping some day he would save her
But he didn't
It grew more difficult, in fact
He's the only reason why this whole commitment's not intact
Torn in two
Forced to decide where to stand
But it grows to be intense when support can't meet demand
So I listen
And take both sides into account
I'm attached to every two, preventing either one from drowning
Listen up
There's no particular response
That could heal these wounds and stagnate more of this loss
Let it out
Let it fly, but don't let it die
Nearly three decades leaves me puzzled asking why
Why try to immediately intervene and change this
Multiply the difference and you learn to lose your patience
Say this might have a moment of redemption
Holding me together is my mother's sole protection
Broken spirits
Married to an ever-changing person
Complicated everything and feeling undetermined
Our father
Teaching me to be the man I see
But I need to question lessons and create my own identity
Stolen thoughts
My childhood was based on their existence
But if they can't survive together
Where's my hope to live this
Life to its fullest and succeed in a relationship
Based on where they land I'll occupy where the patience sits
Making this a therapy session with what I write
Bury me beneath the melted wax of the candle light
Fighting for the happy ending promised to each other
It drove itself into a barricade of being stubborn
Lovers
Sworn to protect each other physically
Suffering from detached feelings
Corrupted symmetry
It came across as being easy for abandonment
Alcohol induced phone calls is a mismanagement
Of a father-son bond losing interaction
Now I sit in front of her and watch it kill the passion
That she saved to live for the life of this one man
Praying for the day that she would get to see her husband
South American culture doesn't seem to point the finger
South American culture is convincing him to leave her
North American culture is influencing her judgment
Move on
It's not worth all this destruction
A husband in fairytale on the fly enthusiast
Damaging this world of her's is just ludicrous
6 months gone with the same explanation
Still unimpressed with always being on vacation
Unemployed
Just another ploy to leave the country
Hasn't seen the love of her life since he was nothing
With a little money he exasperated traveling
Making me a witness to the bickering and battling
It seems like a soap opera adolescence program
Live now, leave later, welcome to my stone hands
They don't execute that signal of affection
The eyes are a window to a spiritual infection
Now I'm responsible to act as her fallback
Her crutch, her brains, her rock
Whatever you want to call that
This is the road that must now be followed
A time to unload and start to feel what is hollow
I remember when he said that we were just the same
That's my inspiration to change
I'll recreate the name
Remember when he said that we were just the same
That's my inspiration to change
I'll recreate the name
Love won't bother to salvage a father
I didn't even want to fucking write this song
Life stays stubborn
It won't help a mother
I didn't even want to fucking sing this song
Time stays distant
Along with commitment
I didn't even want to fucking make this song
Alone and apart, this dismantled the heart
I didn't even want to fucking know this song
Love won't bother, life won't stays stubborn
I didn't even want to fucking write this song
Time stays distant, alone and apart
I didn't even want to fucking sing this song
To salvage a father, you won't help a mother
I didn't even fucking want to make this song
Along with commitment, this dismantled heart
I didn't even want to fucking know this song
Love won't bother, life stays stubborn
I didn't even want to fucking write this song
Time stays distant, alone and apart
I didn't even want to fucking sing this song
To salvage a father, it won't help a mother
I didn't even fucking want to make this song
Along with commitment, this dismantled heart
I didn't even want to fucking know this song
