Broken Home

Looking thru the window noticing a slight reflection of myself

Wondering when I walk away if I’ll ever see this version of myself again

You looked so broken and down low

I wonder what they said to you. Oooo

I wonder how they hurt you. Oooo

I wonder how anyone could make you feel blue

One day the sun will shine

I always walked around school with my head down low

I came from a broken home

I never shared my life with anyone one

I was too embarrassed and shy to ever talk about it

I never wanted to talk about the pain

The feeling I had in my gut walking in the front door

Wondering if my momma was ok

I wondered what it was like to have the perfect life

Reading magazines and seeing celebrities

Thinking they had it all

Thinking money solved everything

Money only brings damage it doesn’t do anything

You think the yelling and fighting were ok for me?

I was raised in a broken home

My dad never cared or showed it as I grew up

My brother did drugs

Now I’m trying to be better than they could be

I look thru photos and see smiles but were they real?

Everyone looked so happy. What happened to that family?

Shattered throughout the years

Growing tired and old

Never wanting to work on things

The cycle continued and continued

Until the family grew smaller and smaller

Cause now you’re 6ft under

No longer hurting, abusing my mother, and working to make a living

I wondered what it was like to have the perfect life

Reading magazines and seeing celebrities

Thinking they had it all

Thinking money solved everything

Money only brings damage it doesn’t do anything

You think the yelling and fighting were ok for me?

I was raised in a broken home

My dad never cared or showed it as I grew up

My brother did drugs

Now I’m trying to be better than they could be

Now when I look into the mirror and see my reflection

It’s of who I want to be and continue to grow

Never looking back now

Long ago I came from a broken home

Now the home I live in is grounded and capable of

Capable of loving and caring

I wondered what it was like to have the perfect life

Reading magazines and seeing celebrities

Thinking they had it all

Thinking money solved everything

Having a loving home and my own family

That solved everything

No longer looking back to what was once there

Looking forward to my life now that I can see

I can see happiness was always waiting for mee

Came from a broken home

Came from a broken home

Don’t ever look back oh no no

Keep your head up babe

The light at the end of the tunnel is there I promise

You gotta keep fighting

You gotta keep pushing

Just have a little faith
