Why are you so mean to us?
The three children that are yours
You’d sworn you’d be the best for us
An impossible, boring chore
Unless, you can make us work
Earning our own keep
Taking care of poor old you
And your breaking back, you’d think
You are only 34 years old
You able-bodied man
You have the ability to work
And pay child support, if you can
Your love is insanely conditional
If we make you mad, we’re done
You’ll drop us off back at Moms
It’s ok, you often tend to run
Why are you so mean to us?
Don’t you understand we love you
I still believe there is greatness
Under your numbness that’s crazy cruel
Help me please to understand
This anger you hold within
Did we really do something wrong?
I’m just a little kid
I’m nervous about this whole arrangement
Partial custody with these two
Parents who tend to fight dirty
Without realizing they are the glue
To holding us together
To teaching us how to move on
When everything is this broken
Your shattered love becomes the con
