last forever
Love was something she thought as traditional
Unless you were married, then it's transitional
When she said the vows, had the kids
She never raised a brow, even when she saw what they hid
Was love supposed to burn this bad?
Were they supposed to get oh so mad
When she caught them in the act?
Or telling her kids to not find this kind of hurt
To not worry about the unstable words they said between slurs
You're supposed to find a love like your parents
Not some words someone put on clearance
You're supposed to find the person who doesn't make you feel
Like you're the dumbest one behind the wheel
But, to her, love is traditional
And, "I do" was the signature for the poison meant to last forever
Meant to last forever
Should've left a long time ago
Even she knows her kids are aware too
She shouldn't think this is the normal show
Shouldn't have to think letting go is a sign of weakness
And not a sign of sunlight flooding in
You're supposed to find a love like your parents
Not some words someone put on clearance
You're supposed to find the person who doesn't make you feel
Like you're the dumbest one behind the wheel
But, to her, love is traditional
And, "I do" was the signature for the poison meant to last forever
Her daughter told her, "You don't have to stay"
Her son, he asked, "Why don't we go away?"
And what could she do when the two most important people in her world
Told her to leave this place
And what could she do when he begged her to stay, oh
You're supposed to find a love like your parents
But all she knew was what her parents had
Up until the time came when the promises they swore to keep
Seemed like such a childish thing
Oh, that was the day she swore to the poison
No, her kids won't make the same mistakes
'Cause they know the difference between staying because you want to
And staying because you have to last forever
Unless you were married, then it's transitional
When she said the vows, had the kids
She never raised a brow, even when she saw what they hid
Was love supposed to burn this bad?
Were they supposed to get oh so mad
When she caught them in the act?
Or telling her kids to not find this kind of hurt
To not worry about the unstable words they said between slurs
You're supposed to find a love like your parents
Not some words someone put on clearance
You're supposed to find the person who doesn't make you feel
Like you're the dumbest one behind the wheel
But, to her, love is traditional
And, "I do" was the signature for the poison meant to last forever
Meant to last forever
Should've left a long time ago
Even she knows her kids are aware too
She shouldn't think this is the normal show
Shouldn't have to think letting go is a sign of weakness
And not a sign of sunlight flooding in
You're supposed to find a love like your parents
Not some words someone put on clearance
You're supposed to find the person who doesn't make you feel
Like you're the dumbest one behind the wheel
But, to her, love is traditional
And, "I do" was the signature for the poison meant to last forever
Her daughter told her, "You don't have to stay"
Her son, he asked, "Why don't we go away?"

Oh, that was the day she swore to the poison
No, her kids won't make the same mistakes
'Cause they know the difference between staying because you want to
And staying because you have to last forever
