I stood at my door
I didn't understand
Why mommy and daddy
couldn't keep holding hands

I refused to believe
Our family was was torn to shreds
I refused to believe
the lies put in my head

My big sister was with me
She held me close to her
She'd tell me made up stories
I knew her eyes were blurred

My mommy, her step mommy
Blamed her for the wrongs
And told her to be quiet
With her, the blame belonged

So when no-one was looking
She would cry up in her room
I came in and laid down with her
Until I heard the boom

We both got up to look around
Their room right next to ours
And on the corner of the bed
Our little puppy cowers

I crawled from my sister's arms
To look inside and see
My mommy and my daddy
were fighting over me

I didnt know what custody meant
But I knew that sissy cried
whenever her mommy was mentioned
So I figured daddy lied

Katie's mommy wants her bad
And daddy doesn't learn
That in this house she's disapearing
This house is killing her

The day my sister finally broke
Our daddy finally gave in
His eldest daughter's life was fragile
And not a mother/father competition

Her mommy got full custody
Daddy and I see her on weekends
Even though it's less time than usual
It's all the same love in the end

Daddy has grown much wiser
His faults are less and less
And now the past's behind us
Things aren't such a mess

I am older than yesterday
And less innocent than my age
But I'm glad that things have fixed themselves
I'm glad that things have changed
