Broken Home

Daddy made some promises he couldn't keep Momma said you'll still see him every other week You didn't understand You were just a kid back then Two bedrooms in two houses, different sides of town Feeling like a deck of cards, always shuffled round With pain that no one knows Guess that's the way it goes But if I could talk to that younger me I'd hold him close and I'd say these things All of your tomorrows don't depend on your yesterdays And there is more to living than the way that you were raised If I'm honest, some things heal If I'm honest, some things won't But you don't have to have a broken future Just 'cause you're from a broken home There might be a day you think it's all your fault Beating yourself up for reasons that don't make sense at all It was not your fault It was not your fault And you'll wonder if your father's sins are in your blood 'Cause you'll make mistakes that you don't think you'll find your way back from But I know you will The morning's coming still, oh All of your tomorrows don't depend on your yesterdays And there is more to living than the way that you were raised If I'm honest, some things heal If I'm honest, some things won't But you don't have to have a broken future, oh no Just 'cause you're from a broken home And it's okay to be mad It's okay to cry And to ask your mom and ask your dad Why, oh why? And it's okay to feel Like you're lost upon the sea 'Cause this isn't how it was meant to be But you'll grow up, fall in love, and hold your kids And you'll know that you can do things different than they did And all the hell you've seen Heaven will redeem All of your tomorrows don't depend on your yesterdays There is more to living than the way that you were raised If I'm honest, some things heal If I'm honest, some things won't But you don't have to have a broken future You don't have to have a broken future Just 'cause you're from a broken home Just 'cause you're from a broken home
