Broken Home Blues

(ahhhh, yeah) Why would you

throw us away? All

we

built, from nothing.

Started on the cold street pavement,

no roof above Lockup bars and concrete,

holding onto love

Then we had the kids,

I thought we finally made it through How you gonna break the

bond, tell me what did I do?

I put my whole damn heart in this,

how could you leave?

Watching our family shatter,

I can barely breathe.

(tell me why,

why?)

I put my heart in this,

how could you do this to me?

Threw our family away,

now I'm drowning in the misery

Memories for days, not enough drugs to escape I can't take the

confusion, watching our picture fade

(watching it fade)

From sleeping under bridges to surviving the cell To bringing children in

the world and escaping that hell Now I'm standing in the ruins

of the home that we built Struggling to survive under the weight

of the guilt

There ain't a chemical that washes out the stain No pill,

no smoke to take away this kind of pain I'd take the

cold metal switch straight to my temple

Just to quiet down the noise and keep it simple

Why...

How could you do this to us? (silence)
