Mom sings solo
_____
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
_____
How she's out of breath
_____
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
_____
How he's out of breath
_____
Hello world if you could
_____
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
_____
Don't ask me to choose
_____
Whether they wage war or not
_____
I know these two soldiers
_____
Have my happiness in their sights
_____
How I'm out of breath
_____
Hello world if you knew
_____
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
