Album: ...Throws Like a Girl
A father's failure a long ago would never be forgot.
Their differences would continue to drive them apart.
The mother could not forgive him the father acted unrepentant.
It wasn't long before they'd give in and go their separate ways.
The child found himself in the midst of it all he didn't know on whom to call.
And all the while he's forced to keep forcing a smile
but deep inside his agony can't be denied
When the paperwork was finished he knew it was through
Never more would mom and dad exchange their "I love you's"
all he hoped for was a day when he would wake up from this bad dream
And his parents would both love each other once again.
The child found himself in the midst of it all he didn't know on whom to call.
And all the while he's forced to keep forcing a smile
but deep inside his agony can't be denied
He said to them, please do not go.
I won't survive, my youth alone,
I need a mom, I need a dad,
I need a family, a family,
if not for him, then for your child,
if not for her, then for your son.
His pain won't leave, won't be erased,
can't be undone.
And all the while he's forced to keep forcing a smile
but deep inside his agony can't be denied
