Dear child May you never stray away You would always say "But lately I've watched you pull life from your finger tips This family turn to ash in your soul" I knew love once but it wasn't alive tonight This broken home falls apart from the inside We are so cold on the outside For every child that lies awake For every mother that prays for peace Closure will come Could you see the look in his eyes? Whisper another lie Whisper another lie Whisper another lie He nearly drank himself to d**h But in his mind, he's alright A shattered shell of a man chose the bottle over a family Another shot to chase him down Another shot to chase him down Stand up tall, straighten your back You said you were a friend but it was a father that I lacked Home is where the heart is Home is where it hurts the most Home is where the heart is Home is where it hurts the most Home is where the heart is Home is where it hurts the most Oh God This broken home falls apart from the inside We are so cold on the outside For every child that lies awake For every mother that prays for peace Closure will come
