Lyrics

I remember mom and daddy fighting in the kitchen
Me and brothers being conditioned to
Tune out all the yellin'
I was just a little kid with no way to tell them
The damage that it did, so I went and
Left some little notes around that said
"Shut up, shut up, I can't take anymore
Would you say those hurtful words if we weren't behind closed doors?
What kind of love can turn to such tragedy?"
If I knew then what I know now, I'd tell the younger me
Sometimes moms and daddies don't get it right
Sometimes love just ain't enough to throw aside the knives
Instead they cut each other down until there's nothing left
But an empty house and four kids in the mess
But you don't have to follow in their steps
Well, I guess my little notes didn't do what I was hopin'
Lovers pourin' gas on fires of emotion
Only leads to an explosion
What started out as tears turned into an ocean
'Cause twenty years doesn't mean devotion
Is love just an emotion?
'Cause sometimes moms and daddies don't get it right
And sometimes love just ain't enough throw aside the knives
Instead they cut each other down until there's nothing left
But an empty house and four kids in the mess
But you don't have to follow in their steps
I don't hate my mom and dad
For doing what they knew
'Cause broken families and alcohol
Is how they grew up too
I believe that new horizons
Come despite the wreckage
'Cause when I look into my daughter's eyes
She reminds me just what love is
'Cause sometimes moms and daddies don't get it right
And sometimes love just ain't enough throw aside the knives
But now that I've grown up and have a family of my own
Unconditional love makes this house a home
'Cause we created footsteps of our own
'Cause we created footsteps of our own
