"Two Houses" lyrics

Broken by a broken home I hate to see my dad alone
I cherish all the times that we spend
I only see him on the weekends
Mama called me up to say
She never pictured life this way
In an empty house she walks through
With nobody there to talk to

They're living separate lives and it hurts to see
What if what's best for them is worse for me

Two parents, two houses
New people, new surroundings
Dad moved to a new town and
Had to learn to live without him
Two bedrooms, two birthdays
Mum had to change her surname
Never had a second first date
And I think she's lonely most days

It was the right thing for mum and dad to do
But when my parents split it split me in two

First time I saw my brother cry
Was when we had to say goodbye
To the home that we grew up in
Guess we never saw it coming

We're living separate lives now we moved away
But I think about him everyday

Two parents, two houses
New people, new surroundings
Dad moved to a new town and
Had to learn to live without him
Two bedrooms, two birthdays
Mum had to change her surname
Never had a second first date
And I think she's lonely most days

I get it now but at first I didn't
Thought that love was breeze it isn't
Couple heart breaks in, good riddance
At the top of the stairs I'd listen
All the fights all the tears I witnessed
I'm so fucking scared of commitment

It was the right thing for mom and dad to do
But when my parents split it split my heart in two
