"Happy Home (DEMO)" lyrics

I remember the pain in my mother's eyes
I remember the pain of her compromise years ago
I always wanted to help to make it go away
I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so

And she said to me, she said to me
"He hitchhiked to me, we went cross country
I had to leave my home, I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy, build a happy, build a happy home"

I never knew what to say to anybody
I didn't know what to do, I was far too young
But everybody could feel the suffocation
Underneath the facade of a happy home

And she said to me, she said to me
"He hitchhiked to me, we went cross country
I had to leave my home, I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy, build a happy, build a happy, home sweet freedom
Flowing in my eyes
Home sweet freedom
Flowing my mind

We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy home
Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood
Waiting and waiting to be understood fully
Sacrificed her years to the family
Waiting and waiting to be heard finally

And she said to me, she said to me
"He hitchhiked to me, we went cross country
I had to leave my home, I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried so hard to build a happy home
He hitchhiked to me, we went cross country
I had to leave my home, I had to raise a family
We did the best we could being so young
We tried to hard to build a happy, build a happy, build a happy home, sweet freedom"
