Broke (When I Realized)

The house down the road, all gilded and old
 Well, doe-eyed through the years I watched glad families come and go
 But never as glad as mine, or the home that we'd grown
 Until now I'd never longed for that house down the road
 As I faced the disappointment of my dug up kitchen floor
 And surrendered to a silence that I could not hear before
 Of a love that had come and gone decomposed so long ago
 I was met with the helplessness of being only 12 years old
 The crack in my mother's voice when he said he would not stay
 Fed down into her tired heart, she didn't want him to go away
 And he weight of the many tears she shed
 Nearly woke me from my bad dream
 And I broke when I realized that I was yet to fall asleep

 Oh, I broke when I realized I was yet to fall asleep
