Why'd you have to go do that Daddy
I  know you said between long lost tears
That you've been so lonely
So on your own
But why'd you have to go do that Daddy
Why'd you have to go give your love
To someone else?

Mama why'd you have to be so mean
Why weren't you kinder
Softer
Direct with sincerity
Why didn't you try to make sure
Daddy didn't feel so
Lonely?

Why'd you have to do that mama and papa
Why'd you have to veil us with promises
Of white picket fences
And the life you thought we ought to have
Why didn't you just tell each other the truth?
