Yeah, I agree with the majority here. It's about parent's staying together when they blatantly need to get a divorce. Mine've hardly spoken in three years and when they do it's to have a blazing argument. They still live in the same house with me and the complicated situation with the house and business means that they can't/won't get a divorce.

Their anger hurts my ears, Been running strong for seven years, Rather than fix the problems, They never solve them, It makes no sense at all. I see them everyday, We get along, so why can't they? If this is what he wants, And this is what she wants, Then why's there so much pain?

Replace the seven with thirty five and that's pretty much the situation i'm going through. A lot of parents don't give their children enough credit. They are strong enough to handle a divorce. What they are not designed to handle is the unnatural situation of having their parents live together but being separated. It's a fantastic song. Not that I can listen to it, it makes me and i'm sure millions of others break down.
