What Happened to Family lyrics

WHAT HAPPENED TO FAMILY


Hook: 2X
What happened to family (I don’t know)
What happened to family (When’d we let go)
What happened to family (Please don’t go)
What happened to family

Verse I:
Hands reaching out to heaven Tears droppin’ to the carpet fibers
She said she hates me right before I hear the spinnin’ tires
And I believe her---Hell Yeah I believe her
I could tell it when I seen her it was all in her demeanor
Five years down the drain holidays done came and went
We used to worry bout smoking blunts out by the vent
Now we worryin bout food, car insurance, and rent
What to tell the kids and child support payments
But the writings on the wall and aint a way to change it
Same shit different pile Those days were wasted
Now I’m lookin’ at my kids with tears rollin’ down their faces
While I’m boxin’ up half their stuff for when they switch places
And what I’m s’posed to tell ‘em Daddy doesn’t like Mom
When their whole life long I been telling’ ‘em get along
That family sticks together no matter whose right or wrong
But now wherever they are half of their family is gone

Hook: 2X
What happened to family (I don’t know)
What happened to family (When’d we let go)
What happened to family (Please don’t go)
What happened to family


Verse II:
How many broken picture frames still reside in this house
And how many times you think the word hate came out our mouths
How many holes in the walls you think we might have filled out
And how many raw actions filled our hearts and spilled out
We said it only hurt the kids when we both moved out
Went our separate ways for the best of thangs—then
We rest the blame on each other but doubt
If half the times we argued we even knew what about
And if what happened had to happen---maybe a move’s wrong
Or the past kept us trapped—should a tried us a new home
But I’m still out here livin day to day with you gone
Missin’ huggin’ my wife and lovin’ time with my newborn
Missin playin with my kids and askin em how they feel
When I could have done that instead of tryin’ to get a deal
Or tryin’ to sell wheel like I really could make a mill
Instead I’m cryin on the couch lookin out the window sill like

Hook: 2X
What happened to family (I don’t know)
What happened to family (When’d we let go)
What happened to family (Please don’t go)
What happened to family











Verse III:
So every now and again I flash back to better times with cheap whiskey on my breath and what ifs all on my mind
A couple maybes in between and finally nevermind
I cain’t take the pain of reminiscing—not at this time
Or maybe just in this place its kinda lonely without the family
All empty and so cold it only it only adds to my insanity
I keep pickin’ up tha phone and then hangin’ it back up
I actually dialed the number once but hit end when you picked up
After each call I’d just lift the cup and throw another shot back
Drift away to happy thoughts of warm houses, ballrooms, and top hats
Dreams of many different things but nothin’ that could stop that
Emptiness I feel------ still harborin ill will-----like


Hook: 2X
What happened to family (I don’t know)
What happened to family (When’d we let go)
What happened to family (Please don’t go)
What happened to family
