bounds of modesty - broken home lyrics

i’ve thought of running when the roof caved in
late summer, two thousand four
laying down a new foundation left nothing here to be mourned
awkward silences, ruined appetites, may i be excused again?
clueless brothers forced to grow up in a hurry without nothing else to defend
and won’t you believe in something more, somehow
’cause i don’t understand
don’t ask me just to hold on ’till i leave this house
i’m not losing my head

it’s not all my fault. i was scared to leave my room
it’s not all my fault. i cried coming from school
it’s not all my fault. you left me to die alone
it’s not all my fault we left this place a broken home

we left this place so broken—

and i don’t
hope you’re happy, but i don’t wish you were dead
please, just forgive me if you never cross my mind again
when you hate your perfect families
it’s like you’re spitting me right in the face
all my friends say, “wait ’till you wake up,” but tomorrow’s too late for me

i know that i’m a wreck more often than not these days
but i’m trying to come back from it
our childhood’s like an open wound
but the plan is not going to my head

i was safe. and i was loved. and i had everything to live for
i was safe. and i was loved. and i had everything to live for
i was safe. and i was loved. and i had everything to live for
i was safe. and i was loved. and i had everything to live for
i was safe! and i was loved! and i had everything to live for!
i was safe! and i was loved! and i had everything to live for!
i was safe! and i was loved! and i had everything to live for!
i was safe. and i was loved. and i had everything to live for
i was safe. and i was loved. and i had everything to live for
you lived fast, but you died young, and it’s impossible to handle!

i guess i was hoping i was stronger
but i only remember the way that you left here
you should’ve seen me grow!

i had a friend
(i tried to remember.)
and i tried to remember watching tv shows in bed with you
but all i remember
is a f+cking hospital bed in our living room

i don’t need to tell you we grieve
but don’t you worry, my friends take good care of me
they keep telling me
we all carry more than our backs can bear
but we are not beyond repair
we all carry more than our backs can bear
but i am not beyond repair!

i will run for you ’till i die
you’ll be my vital sign
and when my body breaks
i won’t go quietly!
everything’s been said! will you recognize me when we meet again?
oh god, i hope you’re watching me
’cause i’ll keep looking up to the endless blue
and then i close my eyes, and i’m here with you
it’s godawful—

and i’ve long stopped crying
but the bad days remind what i cried what i cried—
i know that i’m a lost cause
but you will never really see it
dad’s been all up in arms, but he moved on, same as we did
and most days i fight to make good on this promise:
i’ll keep doing things i like, and i’ll work on getting stronger
and i’ll still wait for you all my life
after all this time, i hope that we can stop crying
until we all forget what we were crying about

we left this place a broken home
we left this home to build our own
we left this place a broken home
we left this place a broken home
we left this place a broken home
