Doubled pocket money

two half-homes,

I didn't learn another way.

People are in love

and then aren't anymore,

I didn't learn another way.

I didn't learn another way.

The shouts, the silences, the sobs,

it all changed me,

and the cracks remain there.

Waiting, hoping, asking

until something gets better

and things go back to what they were.

The picture in the corner is dusty,

but on it we smile.

I just can't recognize us anymore.

No talking,

rather keeping quiet in front of the television,

I didn't learn another way.

I didn't learn another way.

You don't stand your ground

when the going gets rough,

I didn't learn another way.

I didn't learn another way.

The shouts, the silences, the sobs,

it all changed me,

and the cracks remain there.

Waiting, hoping, asking

until something gets better

and things go back as they were.

The picture in the corner is dusty,

but on it we smile.

I haven't seen us like that for quite a while.

I just can't recognize us anymore.
