He says she's begging for attention
She's just begging to be seen
He makes her feel delusional
She makes him feel cold and mean
Neither one ever learned how to fend
So it's just a dirty jagged break
Can't even find the strength to be friends
Not for anyone's sake
But a child still hopes and prays
They'll make it work one of these days
But all of the kings horses and all the kings men
Can't put mom and dad back together again
It's a home split down the middle
A child's heart split right in half
With words of hate and bitterness
And images you can't take back
They made their beds
They drew their lines
No time to tell the wrong from the right
And in a blink the love of their lives
Faded out of sight
But a child still hopes and prays
They'll make it work on of these days
But all of the kings horses and all the kings men
Can't put mom and dad back together again
Oh friends its a story as old as stories themselves
Leave or stay, either way it's going to be hell
But a child still hopes and prays
They'll make it work on of these days
But all of the king's horses and all the king's men
Can't put mom and dad back together
A child still hopes and prays
They'll make it work on of these days
But all of the kings horses and all the kings men
Can't put mom and dad back together again
