Broken Home Lyrics
They would yell, they would scream, they were fighting it out
She would hope, she would pray, she was waiting it out
Holding onto a dream
While she watches these walls fall down
Sharp words like knives, they were cutting her down
Shattered glass like the past, it’s a memory now
Holding onto a dream
While she watches these walls fall down
Hey mom, hey dad
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home
Wrote it down on the walls, she was screaming it out
Made it clear, she’s still here, are you listening now?
Just a ghost in the halls
Feeling empty, they’re vacant now
All the battles, all the wars, all the times that you’ve fought
She’s a scar, she’s the bruising, she’s the pain that you brought
There was life, there was love
Like a light and it’s fading out
Hey mom, hey dad
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home
You've gotta let it go, you’re losing all your hope
Nothing left to hold, locked out in the cold
Your painted memories that washed out all the seas
I'm stuck in between a nightmare and lost dreams
Hey mum, hey dad
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Hey mum, hey dad
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
This broken home
She would hope, she would pray, she was waiting it out
Holding onto a dream
While she watches these walls fall down
Sharp words like knives, they were cutting her down
Shattered glass like the past, it’s a memory now
Holding onto a dream
While she watches these walls fall down
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home
Made it clear, she’s still here, are you listening now?
Just a ghost in the halls
Feeling empty, they’re vacant now
All the battles, all the wars, all the times that you’ve fought
She’s a scar, she’s the bruising, she’s the pain that you brought
There was life, there was love
Like a light and it’s fading out
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home, this broken home
Nothing left to hold, locked out in the cold
Your painted memories that washed out all the seas
I'm stuck in between a nightmare and lost dreams
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Hey mum, hey dad
When did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Who’s right, who’s wrong
Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home

By the lyrics and my personal view point, I believe that this song is specifically about a teenage girl who's parents are fighting/going through a divorce/in an abusive relationship. From the lyrics "Sharp words like knives, they were cutting her down" can show that her parents were also abusing her by yelling at her. I believe this song is showing how it is affecting her mental state and how she acts around other people. I believe that this is making her feel isolated, from not just her family, but herself as well. The ending to me feels like she yells at them or something and then tries to commit suicide.
