I got memories, golden memories of the time

My whole family was one family, it was mine

We would go on road trips when we could afford it

Seeing what the world's like, travel every corner

I wish I could tell you that was reality for us

Why did you make me choose where to go?

Why did you let a kid decide a home?

I didn't understand how solid gold

Could break, but now I know

How could you be so good, then fall apart?

Seeing my mom and dad with heavy hearts

'Cause I didn't understand how solid gold

Could break, but now I know

Now I know

I've grown older and know love is hard to find (Oh, oh)

So I get why you stayed so long and gave it time (Time)

You had good intentions, I can say I know now

It was for the better, seeing who you are now

But I'm still reminded what was reality for us

Why did you make me choose where to go?

Why did you let a kid decide a home?

I didn't understand how solid gold

Could break, but now I know

How could you be so good, then fall apart?

Seeing my mom and dad with heavy hearts

'Cause I didn't understand how solid gold

Could break, but now I know

Now I know
