Broken Family

(Verse 1)

Sunday dinner table set for five

But only one remains sitting here tonight

Your empty chairs still haunt this room

Dad's been gone since last June

Mom pretends that she's okay

But I can hear her cry at night

Both Sisters moved across the state

Said they couldn't stand the fight

(Chorus)

We were supposed to be forever

Now we're scattered like the weather

Like shattered glass we can't go back

To the way we used to be

Every piece cuts deeper now

This broken family

In this house divided

We're all just trying to survive it

Angry words and slamming doors

Don't know what we're fighting for

(Verse 2)

Photographs torn in half

Sides thrown in the trash

Screaming matches down the hall

Writing's bleeding on the wall

Custody on weekends now

Awkward silence, broken vows

Two different homes, two different lives

Lawyers talking, papers signed

Left our childhood far behind

(Chorus)

We were supposed to be forever

Now we're scattered like the weather

Like shattered glass we can't go back

To the way we used to be

Every piece cuts deeper now

This broken family

In this house divided

We're all just trying to survive it

Angry words and slamming doors

Don't know what we're fighting for

(Bridge)

Now I'm picking up the pieces

Of what we'll never see

What happened to the family

We swore we'd always be?

(Chorus)

We were supposed to be forever

Now we're scattered like the weather

Like shattered glass we can't go back

To the way we used to be

Every piece cuts deeper now

This broken family

In this house divided

We're all just trying to survive it

Angry words and slamming doors

Don't know what we're fighting for
