[hometext] => I wrote this when I was 12..
[bodytext] => They're at it again The screaming begins I take my brother and hide In the closet we sit, side by side I hold his hand, and try to be strong And remind him that we did nothing wrong As the screaming arguments grow.. My tears begin to show This time I don't think it's gonna be alright, The sound of their fight, is much worse tonight. We both sit in fear Wishing we could just disappear.. Now hours have passed The fighting and screaming has stopped at last Footsteps near our room, it's just dad... He kneels by the bed, and tells us not to be sad, That he loves us, then kisses us Goodnight And whispers that, tomorrow everything will be alright. Mom wakes us in morning Without a warning.. Our family has been broken What went on last night, will forever remain Unspoken She tells us to pack our stuff She's had enough The fighting has ended.. But our broken family can't be mended.
