[Verse 1]

They would yell, they would scream, they were fighting it out

She would hope, she would pray, she was waiting it out

G F

Holding on to 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

G F

Holding on to a dream, while she watches these walls fall down

[Chorus]

C G

Hey mum, hey dad, when did this end?

When did you lose your happiness?

I’m here alone inside of this broken home

C G

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

[Verse 2]

Am F

Wrote it down on the walls, she was screaming it out

Made it clear, she’s still here, are you listening out

Just a ghost in the halls feeling empty, they’re vacant now

Am F

All the battles, all the wars, all the time that you fought

She’s the scar, she’s the bruises she’s the pain that you brought

There was life, there was love like a light and it’s fading out

[Chorus]

C G

Hey mum, hey dad, when did this end?

When did you lose your happiness?

I’m here alone inside of this broken home

C G

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

[Bridge]

You’ve gotta let it go

You’re losing all your hope

Nothing left to hold

Locked out in the cold

You painted memories

Then washed out all the scenes

I’m stuck in between

A nightmare and lost dreams

C G

Hey mum, hey dad, when did this end?

When did you lose your happiness?

I’m here alone inside of this broken home

[Chorus]

C G

Hey mum, hey dad, when did this end?

When did you lose your happiness?

I’m here alone inside of this broken home

C G

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
