Verse 1:
I wake up to the sound of crying,
Echoes of my mother's lies,
The bottles scattered on the floor,
A distant dream I can't ignore.
Chorus:
Broken home, shattered dreams,
Lost in the chaos, tearing at the seams,
Mommy's gone, Daddy's lost,
In this life, we all pay the cost.
Verse 2:
Arrested by the dawn's cruel light,
The shadows swallow all our fight,
I’m left alone in this empty space,
Searching for a familiar face.
Chorus:
Broken home, shattered dreams,
Lost in the chaos, tearing at the seams,
Mommy’s gone, Daddy’s lost,
In this life, we all pay the cost.
Bridge:
The walls whisper secrets, they can't contain,
Innocent children bearing the pain,
Every siren sings a haunting tune,
Underneath this battered moon.
Chorus:
Broken home, shattered dreams,
Lost in the chaos, tearing at the seams,
Mommy’s gone, Daddy’s lost,
In this life, we all pay the cost.
Outro:
Yeah, we pay the cost,
We pay the price,
In a broken home,
We think twice.
