When you love someone

Come home early after class
Don't be hanging round the back
Of the schoolyard
I've been called up by a teacher
She says she can't even reach you
Cause you're so far
You've been talking with your fist
We didn't raise you up like this
Now did we
There have been changes in this house
Things you don't know about
In this family

It don't make sense
But nevertheless
You gotta believe us
It's all for the best
It don't make sense
The way things go
Son, you should know

Sometimes moms and dads
Fall out of love
Sometimes two homes
Are better than one
Some things you can't tell your sister
Cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone

There ain't no one here to blame
Nothing's going to change
With your old friends
Your room will stay the same
Cause you'll only be away
On the weekends

It don't make sense
But nevertheless
You gotta believe us
It's all for the best
It don't make sense
It don't add up
We'll always love you
No matter what

Sometimes moms and dads
Fall out of love
Sometimes two homes
Are better than one
Some things you can't tell your sister
Cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone

When you love someone

Come home early after class
Don't be hanging round the back
Of the schoolyard
And if we're crying on the couch
Don't let it freak you out
This has been so hard

Sometimes moms and dads
Fall out of love
Sometimes the best intentions
Just ain't enough
Some things you can't tell your sister
Cause she's still too young
Yeah, you'll understand
When you love someone

When you love someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
