mother won’t you give me a second chance
to let me come back home again
this time apart has helped me realize we’ve gone too far
all the fighting full of empty threats
and words that we regret
leaving emptiness inside of us
until we settle this
look in my eyes
don’t you dare disrespect me
no end in sight
maybe this will teach you next time
left bruised and scared
no choice, no way to fight back
but there you stand with belt in hand
i’m not coming home again
this has to be
the worst possible way
of keeping me in line
you had your time
so just let me have mine
mother won’t you give me a second chance
to let me come back home again
this time apart has helped me realize we’ve gone too far
all the fighting full of empty threats
and words that we regret
leaving emptiness inside of us
until we settle this
why can’t you see
all the pain this house is causing
this toxic place
will never poison my mind
i’ve healed these bones
but we’ll never fix this broken home
so lock me out and toss the key
i’m setting myself free
this has to be
the worst possible way
of keeping me in line
you had your time
so just let me have mine
mother won’t you give me a second chance
to let me come back home again
this time apart has helped me realize we’ve gone too far
all the fighting full of empty threats
and words that we regret
leaving emptiness inside of us
until we settle this
within these walls beneath the dust
is where i left my broken trust
and though deep down i know you tried
i just can’t stand by your side
