Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
of the children so young who thought life was great
and nothing could've ruined the happiness they felt.
About how their joy came crashing down
all in a blink of an eye,
starting with their parents.
How their parents always
bickered at one another.
Tell me all about the children of Thomas and Leticia
and how they cried when they had to be separated.
Now they live apart with only one parent.
The story about the only child who lives with Thomas
that cried herself to sleep almost every night,
and the two children hurting just as much.
Tell me how nothing is perfect in life,
even if it starts off that way.
