This one's real personal,
Life ain't always what it seems,
Listen...
Grew up in a house full of broken bottles,
Dad was always drunk, hittin' full throttle,
Every night the same, livin' in the shadows,
Tried to be strong, but my heart's feelin' hollow.
He'd stumble through the door, eyes full of rage,
Another empty bottle, another broken page,
Mama's tears fallin', tryna be brave,
Livin' in a nightmare, wishin' I could escape.
How do you love someone who breaks you apart?
Every sip he took, tore at my heart,
Tryna find peace, but don't know where to start,
Livin' with this pain, got me scarred.
Broken bottles, shattered dreams,
Daddy's drinkin' away, rippin' at the seams,
I'm just tryna survive, tryna believe,
But this life with him, got me on my knees.
Every promise he made, washed down with the drink,
Said he'd change, but he'd never even blink,
Watched my hero fall, deeper in the sink,
Now I'm left with these scars, more than I can think.
I'd hide in my room, tryna block out the sound,
Mama's cries echo, tears hit the ground,
In this house of pain, no peace to be found,
Dreamin' of the day I'd finally leave this town.
How do you love someone who breaks you apart?
Every sip he took, tore at my heart,
Tryna find peace, but don't know where to start,
Livin' with this pain, got me scarred.
Broken bottles, shattered dreams,
Daddy's drinkin' away, rippin' at the seams,
I'm just tryna survive, tryna believe,
But this life with him, got me on my knees.
I made a vow, won't be like him,
Won't drown my pain in bottles of sin,
Gonna rise above, break free from within,
Find my own path, let the light in.
Broken bottles, shattered dreams,
Daddy's drinkin' away, rippin' at the seams,
I'm just tryna survive, tryna believe,
But this life with him, got me on my knees.
Life's a struggle, but I'll find my way,
No more broken bottles, no more decay,
With each step I take, I'll be okay,
Leavin' that pain, in yesterday.
