Mom dances the waltz all alone
Her childhood dreams washed away
Nobody dreams of being alone
She doesn't have time for spring
Keeps her happiness in detention
My smiles make hers while she waits
Hello world if you knew, if you knew
Dad left to start a new life
You'll live your own life
You'll do better than him
Dad dances the tango, back broken
And the crowd just raised the level
Suffer, yeah, but with a little dignity
He's got his heart in jail
He doesn't have time for spring
Since promises mean betrayal
Might as well buy dreams for kids
Mom left to start a new life
You'll live your own life
You'll do better than her
And I sing their backing vocals
I looked for my steps between her waltz and his tango
We went from spring to bad weather
They told me 'that's life'
Hard to accept so I spend every night
Playing puzzle with family photos
I've got a smile in detention
Only their reconciliation
Their adult problem, I swear
An epidemic my playground knows
Whether they wage war or not
I know these two soldiers
Have my happiness in their sights
From his absence, I suffer
Grown-ups of the world if you could
Dad left to start a new life
You'll live your life, you'll do better than him
Mom left to start a new life
You'll live your own life
You'll do better than her
