I was seven years old when daddy came in
To tell me and my brother he was leaving
Though we begged him not to go momma said let him be
And a family of four became a family of three
Turns out my dad had an empty heart
He thought he could fill will goodbye
He said that's what you do when things fall apart
And that's what you do when the well runs dry
It wasn't long after then mom was staying out late
And spending her money to medicate
Sometimes with the whiskey, sometimes with the rye
And a broken home was her alibi
All cause my dad had an empty heart
Mom started drinking her wine
She said that's what you do when things fall apart
And that's what you do when the well runs dry
As the water it falls, I'm sinking down low
And I cannot help but feel so alone
So damn my dad and his empty heart
He thought he could fill will goodbye
He said that's what you do when things fall apart
And that's what you do when the well runs dry
Yeah what do you when the well runs dry
