"You're everything that I want but you don't want me." Adam Lambert


Verse:
Why is this happening to me?
Why is this happening to my family?
I don't understand, is it my fault that he left?
Was he unhappy with love or with himself
All I hear is glass breaking
All I hear are your voices shaking my walls
Breaking my walls


Chorus:
Is there anyway out of this ruined love?
Can anyone see our broken family tree?
Because it's falling down right in front of me
And I can't catch the pieces burying me
Can we fix this poisoned love?
And make it right for everyone?
Where is the joy God promised us?
Is there anyway out of this ruined love?


Verse:
Why is Daddy packing up his things?
Why is Mommy acting like she doesn't see?
Why are tears falling from both their eyes?
And why is Daddy telling us goodbye, for what seems like the last time?
My world is crumbling down
My world is tumbling down


Chorus:
Is there anyway out of this ruined love?
Can anyone see our broken family tree?
Because it's falling down right in front of me
And I can't catch the pieces burying me
Can we fix this poisoned love?
And make it right for everyone?
Where is the joy God promised us?
Is there anyway out of this ruined love?


Verse:
Oh ruined love, oh poisoned love, oh tainted love
Why does God hate me Mommy?
Has He left me forever Daddy?
Why couldn't you work things out?
Do you have to go right now?
Why must you always fight
About money and the bad times
The bad times, oh the bad times?

Chorus:
Is there anyway out of this ruined love?
Can anyone see our broken family tree?
Because it's falling down right in front of me
And I can't catch the pieces burying me
Can we fix this poisoned love?
And make it right for everyone?
Where is the joy God promised us?
Is there anyway out of this ruined love?
Oh ruined love, oh poisoned love, oh tainted love


The author's comments:
I wrote this about my parents divorce. It has been 5 years and it took me 4 years after it happened to write this. I decided to publish this because my very best friend is going through a similar situation. I'm hoping that it will touch her the way I intended it too.

Girl, that was such a touching poem! It is hard when that is happening and you feel like you are dealing with the weight of everything that you can't possibly hold on your shoulders! Really good!! And thank you! Love ya girlie!
