Well before burn to ashes And my bones grind down to dust I can't wait to tell my children What the world was like for us How we took too much for granted We got high on sniffin' lows Where the moral of the story was I guess I'll never know But I'm sorry kid I left you with a brand new broken home I said I'm sorry kid I left you with a brand new broken home Left you with no rules to follow Laundry lists of right and wrong All I left you with was innocence And strength to soldier on You got time to fix the problems Pick up right where I tapped out And I wish you all the best of luck I know you'll make me proud But I'm sorry kid I left you with a brand new broken home I said I'm sorry kid I left you with a brand new broken home There's holes all up and down the floor boards Of this house we never made into a home So make the best of what you got No I know it's not a lot But I hope that down the road You'll be the one to break the cycle Build it back up stone by stone And be all the change I failed to make Before I had to go Just know I'm sorry kid I left you with a brand new broken home
