Split Shift

Holes in the wall from where the telephone was thrown
Kids in their bedrooms learning how to cope
There's beer in the fridge and blood in the sink
I did my best with the options given to me

So I sit by their beds, watching them sleep
And I feel ashamed; I brought them into this mess
And I'd leave if I didn't think that they'd resent me
If it wasn't me that I thought they'd end up blaming
If I wasn't worried about the people that they'd become
If I had the guts to start over with them, I swear I'd run

It's not for me to decide what you've got coming
But I sure as hell just hope that its swift
But the truth is that it's more than likely
That you'll get away with every rotten thing you did
And judging by the actions that you've taken
You've got some nerve talking about manipulation

But sometimes I feel like I still have the strength
To take back every decision I was ever forced to make
I could go back to when I was young
If I had the strength to start over again
