Broken Family

(Verse 1)
Sunday dinner table set for five
But only one remains sitting here tonight
Your empty chairs still haunt this room
Dad's been gone since last June
Mom pretends that she's okay
But I can hear her cry at night
Both Sisters moved across the state
Said they couldn't stand the fight

(Chorus)
We were supposed to be forever
Now we're scattered like the weather
Like shattered glass we can't go back
To the way we used to be
Every piece cuts deeper now
This broken family
In this house divided
We're all just trying to survive it
Angry words and slamming doors
Don't know what we're fighting for

(Verse 2)
Photographs torn in half
Sides thrown in the trash
Screaming matches down the hall
Writing's bleeding on the wall
Custody on weekends now
Awkward silence, broken vows
Two different homes, two different lives
Lawyers talking, papers signed
Left our childhood far behind

(Chorus)
We were supposed to be forever
Now we're scattered like the weather
Like shattered glass we can't go back
To the way we used to be
Every piece cuts deeper now
This broken family
In this house divided
We're all just trying to survive it
Angry words and slamming doors
Don't know what we're fighting for

(Bridge)
Now I'm picking up the pieces
Of what we'll never see
What happened to the family
We swore we'd always be?

(Chorus)
We were supposed to be forever
Now we're scattered like the weather
Like shattered glass we can't go back
To the way we used to be
Every piece cuts deeper now
This broken family
In this house divided
We're all just trying to survive it
Angry words and slamming doors
Don't know what we're fighting for
