If you were to ask me what love is during the summer
     I'd tell you that I don't know
     My whole life I thought my parents were in love
     But now I know that it was just a show
5   I heard the bickering, the constant fighting
      And thought nothing of it
      I thought it was what couples do
      I thought it was something they'd get through
      It came to a point where I was depressed
10  Days and months of feeling stressed
      Crying constantly with no one knowing
      The tears in my eyes just kept overflowing
      At this point they were still together
      But were tearing apart like the threads of an old sweater
15  The love was gone
       Never to be found again
       The show was over
       It was now the end
       “Stop pretending” I'd say
20  “Please stop acting like everything's okay”
      They think the kids don't know what's going on
      Though we all see love is gone
      We all get mentally prepared for the move we know is coming soon
      And that was what happened later that June
25  It was time to say hello to a new life
      A new address
      A new life for my mom as not being a wife
      Who knew life could change so fast
      My heart was so broken, I felt like it needed a cast
30  I saw change in my brothers
      In the way they acted
      They couldn't even hug me
      Because their brains were distracted
35  Distracted by how love was portrayed
      And because they were too afraid
      Too afraid to show love
      Knowing it could be taken away
      They only knew what my parents have showed them
40  All we saw was an unhappy family
      Unhappy parents
      And an unhappy life
      Now I know what love is
      It is fake
45  Some love is a complete mistake
      In this generation, it is rarely shown
      One day the word “love” will become unknown
      It is hard to think of my parents ever being happy
      Knowing that what I’ve seen was never sappy
50  But love life ends up being a journey in the end
      I guess this is just how it begins
