Come home early after class
Don't be hanging 'round the back of the schoolyard
Jack and Corbyn's son, Xavier, has been staying at school later than usual.
I've been called up by a teacher
She says she can't even reach you 'cause you're so far
He's been acting different, ever since his dads started arguing.
You've been talking with your fist
We didn't raise you up like this, now did we
He got into fights, and came home with bloody noses.
There have been changes in this house
Things that you don't know about in this family
But what he didn't know, is that his two dads' relationship was getting worse.
It don't make sense, but nevertheless
You gotta believe us, it's all for the best
Corbyn and Jack decided on getting a divorce. The arguments got to be too much and they couldn't handle it anymore.
It don't make sense
The way things go
Son you should know
Xavier didn't understand it. Why his parents seemed so happy together years ago, but now they're separating.
Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
It happens too often these days, parents getting separated. Jack and Corbyn hated to do it, but they knew it's for the best.
Sometimes two homes are better than one
Jack decided to move back to Pennsylvania to be with his family. It would be a very long drive from LA.
Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
Xavier's little sister, Noel, also didn't understand. She's too young to. All she knows is that she won't see both dads at the same time.
Yeah you'll understand
When you love someone
Corbyn and Jack keep telling Xavier that he'll understand one day, but he wanted that day to be now.
There ain't no one here to blame
Nothing's going to change with your old friends
All of the changes made Xavier think too much, what will happen with his friends? But his parents kept reassuring that nothing would change.
Your room will stay the same
'Cause you'll only be away on the weekends
The fact that Xavier and Noel would only see Jack every month scared them. All of them.
It don't make sense but nevertheless
You gotta believe us, it's all for the best
"It's all for the best" Corbyn and Jack repeated.
It don't make sense
It don't add up
Nothing made sense. Where did the happiness go?
We'll always love you no matter what
"We'll love you no matter what" they say that, but Xavier doesn't believe them.
Yeah you'll understand
When you love someone
A/N IM SORRY FOR ALL OF THE SAD ONESHOTS. I'm not feeling my best mentally right now but I'll work on getting better :)
Also, at the end I skipped like half he song bc it just keeps repeating
