I watch it take its toll in every possible behavior / Sitting in the corner hoping some day he would save her
But he didn't, it grew more difficult, in fact / he's the only reason why this whole commitment's not intact
Torn in two, forced to decide where to stand / But it grows to be intense when support can't meet demand
So I listen, and take both sides into account / I'm attached to every two, preventing either one from drowning

Listen up, there's no particular response / that could heal these wounds and stagnate more of this loss
Let it out Let it fly but don't let it die / Nearly three decades leaves me puzzled asking why
Why try to immediately intervene and change this / Multiply the difference and you learn to lose your patience
Say this might have a moment of redemption / Holding me together is my mother's sole protection

Broken spirits, married to an ever-changing person / Complicated everything and feeling undetermined
Our father, teaching me to be the man I see / But I need to question lessons and create my own identity
Stolen thoughts, my childhood was based on their existence / But if they can't survive together, where's my hope to live this
Life to its fullest and succeed in a relationship / Based on where they land I'll occupy where the patience sits

Making this a therapy session with what I write / Bury me beneath the melted wax of the candle light
Fighting for the happy ending promised to each other / It drove itself into a barricade of being stubborn
Lovers, sworn to protect each other physically / Suffering from detached feelings, corrupted symmetry
It came across as being easy for abandonment / Alcohol induced phone calls is a mismanagement

Of a father-son bond losing interaction / Now I sit in front of her and watch it kill the passion
That she saved to live for the life of this one man / Praying for the day that she would get to see her husband
South American culture doesn't seem to point the finger / South American culture is convincing him to leave her
North American culture is influencing her judgment / Move on, it's not worth all this destruction

A husband in fairytale on the fly enthusiast / Damaging this world of her's is just ludicrous
6 months gone with the same explanation / Still unimpressed with always being on vacation
Unemployed, just another ploy to leave the country / Hasn't seen the love of her life since he was nothing
With a little money, he exasperated traveling / making me a witness to the bickering and battling
