Kids in the middle

We signed our names in April

You stayed with your parents

You cheated a day later

My hands wanted to kill

Two kids in the backseat

Mascara on the car seat

I said forever like a prayer

You did too

Then the bottles moved in

And the truth came out

For the fights and the rain

We kept calling it love

But it was pain

Glass on the counter

Kids in the middle

We were a house of thunder

Now we’re just a little

Glass on the counter

Heart split in two

You take Wednesday , I take Sunday

And I still don’t miss you.

The fridge door holds their drawings

A walk with the dog

Your half of the towels are gone

Your side of the closet’s a fog

I drive them to school on time

You pick them up by five

We smile for them them but

Keeping the wreck alive

And the truth came out

For the fights and the rain

We kept calling it love

But it was pain

Glass on the counter

Kids in the middle

We were a house of thunder

Now we’re just a little

Glass on the counter

Heart split in two

You take Wednesday , I take Sunday

And I still don’t miss you

You sore you loved me

Swore it every day

But the bottle knows my handwriting

And it knows why

At the kitchen sink at midnight

I can hear your tires fade

Some days I blame the whiskey

Some days I take the blame

Glass on the counter

Kids in the middle

We were a house of thunder

Now we’re just a little

Glass on the counter

Heart split in two

You take Wednesday , I take Sunday

And I still don’t miss you

Glass on the counter

Kids in the middle

We were a house of thunder

Now we’re just a little

Glass on the counter

I learned what love can do

When the ring turns cold and silver

And the bottle talks for two
