My father was young

My mother, younger

They had a song they sung

Forever in love for sure

 

That’s what they thought

Then I came along

That is when they fought

What happened to their love song?

 

After one child

Came three more

All the problems compiled

And the arguments were sore

 

My father left

My mother’s heart died

Love was a theft

And my parents lied

 

I moved to many places

And never stayed long

I remember all their faces

What happened to the love song?

 

It all fades away

As soon as you wake up

It’ll be okay

Just don't crumble and fall

 

All uneven

The things in my brain

My thoughts deepen

And create this pain

 

It’s all in my head

That I already know

That’s why I said

My smile is for your show

 

My mom is always right

I try to stay strong

I crack at night

What happened? There was a love song.

 

I listen for it

Waiting for it so play

So there I sit

And eventually, lay

 

The love in my heart

It seems to drain away

When I am apart

Maybe you will stay?

 

I look in the wrong places

I get attached to everyone I meet

I only remember their faces

And they don’t save me a seat

 

It’s hard to explain

But I love them all

Because they don't feel the same

And I feel myself fall

 

I stand back up

Because I want to belong

And I’ll say yup

There was something about a love song

 

Downward spiral I go,

I thought I hit rock bottom

A long time ago

And I got ‘em

 

All in all, my memories fade

The ones I want, gone

And the ones that stay

Are the reason I yawn

 

The little words you say

Have a lot of meaning

I don’t like the games you play

You are hurting my feelings

 

I wanted to be your friend

But you decided that you hate me

The truth you bend

Into your little key

 

That key you use

To open a door

And I don’t know whose

Lies you use any more

 

Slowly as time goes on

And I see I don’t belong

The sunrise creates a new dawn

And then I heard the song.
