Family Unties

(album: Last Chance To Make Amends - 2006)

Do you ever feel guilty when you lying there in bed
Thinking about the perfect life we could have had
Good from the start but we fell apart
And now we're all alone instead
I should seen the storm coming from a mile away
I should have barred the doors just to make you stay
I can't stand the raining tears
Don't want to hear the anger every day

You say you'll make it up to me somehow someday
I shouldn't think about the passed
But the passed won't go away

I don't want the clouds to roll in
When the sun's been out all day
I never realized the things we had
Until you took them all away
I just wanted you to know that
What you do affects us all
I should have seen the ending and stopped pretending
Cause the writing's on the wall

Did you ever think about the consequences
Leaving all of us so defenseless
You can't deal with complications
It's not fair no more vacations
How can you just sit there tongue-tied
With nothing to say
Can you give back our fucking house you gave away
I got no respect for you
Did you think through the things you should't say

So fuck off
I'm not changing anything
No words can describe my feeling
I can't keep these thoughts up on the shelf
Think twice before you sell our house
And every memory we've had to share
Go and share them with yourself
