Oh, I recall the day she left
I sat and ate in an awkward silence
Then we heard her pull away
Down the road like we'd read about in books

We may never know
What it would have been like if you stayed
We may never know
But we're doing fine without -you- lived a lie

Now, all they have left is
Each other's love to just get by
But lasting evidence is this family
Torn on the inside

It's obvious that moving on
Seemingly not possible and
Oh, she turns nine this October
A child in need of love only you can give

We may never know
What it would have been like if you stayed
We may never know
But we're doing fine without -you- lived a lie

Now, all they have left is
Each other's love to just get by
But lasting evidence is this family
Torn on the inside

I know it's a common thing these days
But I still don't get it; it doesn't make much sense
The permanent scars left on this home
Where, where did they go wrong?

Now, all they have left is
Each other's love to just get by
But lasting evidence is this family
Torn on the inside
