She sits in her room crying
Her parents have gave up on trying
She tries to act strong for her little sister
Her perfect family picture now has a blister
She trys to hold her head high
and she's trying so hard not to cry
No amount of noise could drown out the shouting
A happy ending right now is very doubting
She looks over to her sister who looks so afraid
They both feel so betrayed
Their parents were supposed to always be there for them
But now their fights just casue mayhem
They used to be so in love
Now their love has died like a sad, lonely dove
Her parents used to do everything together
Now the world around her is coming a blur
She's so angry at God for what he's done
She feels like she can turn to no one
She just wants things to go back to the way they used to be
And that is her one and only plea
She doesn't really know what to do
Or even how to get through
She's just so tired of the pain
She just wants it all to go away
She wants everything to go back to the way it was before
But her thoughts are drown out by the slamming of doors
The fighting she would surely never forget
And a few seconds later her mom came in clearly upset
She said they were going to take a break
To give each other some much-needed space
They needed time for their hearts to repair
And that couldn't happen with them both being there
She said it was only temporarily and not for long
And that she was so sorry things had to go wrong
Then she walked out of the room sobbing
Leaving the girls with heads throbbing
They tried to make sense of it all
The realization made them both bawl
The hurt they felt inside cut down deep
As they both cried themselves to sleep
