Fourteen

(album: SECRETS - 2018)

I never knew my father was so broken inside our home
'Til the day I found my mother crying on the floor alone
She said, "how could he do this to me, how could he do this to us
I thought we made a promise, but instead he broke my trust"

Now I'm left with these questions

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
Why are we innocent raised within conflict?

I never knew that hearts could shatter just like broken glass
'Til you proved to me that love is fragile, you cracked yours in half
I just hope there's hope for me to stay home
So go ahead and call it off, go ahead and call it off

It's not just the fact that you're splitting up
It's that you're teaching me about giving up

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
Why are we innocent raised within conflict?

So I'm moving along now and
I'll carry on, trying the best that I can
Because of my father's sin
You blame your actions on him
Fighting a war within

I'm so afraid of us and counting on our heavenly
I'm on the other side I'm finally free with no concern
You always joked with me, forgave me, and now I see
You're my potential match, you were here for me, I am fourteen

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
(Now I'm left with these questions)

Woah oh oh
Have you ever been left alone in a broken home
Woah oh oh
Have you ever had to mediate for your parents sake
When we talk about love, talk about giving it up
Oh oh
Why are we innocent raised within conflict?
