[Verse 1]
Come home early after class
Don't be hanging 'round the back of the schoolyard
I've been called up by your teacher
She said she can't even reach you 'cause you're so far
You've been talking with your fists
We didn't raise you up like this, now did we?
There've been changes in this house
Things you don't know about in this family

[Pre-Chorus]
It don't make sense, but nevertheless
You gotta believe us, it's all for the best
It don't make sensе
The way things go
Son, you should know

[Chorus]
Sometimes moms and dads fall out of lovе
Sometimes two homes are better than one
Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone

[Verse 2]
There ain't no one here to blame
And nothing's going to change with your old friends
Your room will stay the same
'Cause you'll only be away on the weekends
[Pre-Chorus]
It don't make sense but nevertheless
You gotta believe us, it's all for the best
It don't make sense
It don't add up
But we'll always love you no matter what

[Chorus]
Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes two homes are better than one
Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone
When you love someone

[Bridge]
Come home early after class
Don't be hanging 'round the back of the schoolyard
And if we're crying on the couch
Don't let it freak you out
It's just been so hard

[Chorus]
Sometimes moms and dads fall out of love
Sometimes the best intentions just ain't enough
Some things you can't tell your sister 'cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
