Austin French - Broken Home (Live at Praise in the Pines)

Austin French shares his emotional childhood experience in a very broken home. Do you find yourself in what feels like a broken situation? You’re not alone.
Lyrics:
Daddy made some promises he couldn’t keep
Momma said you’ll still see him every other week
You didn’t understand
You were just a kid back then
Two bedrooms in two houses, different sides of town
Feeling like a deck of cards, always shuffled round
With pain that no one knows
Guess that’s the way it goes
But if I could talk to that younger me
I’d hold him close and I’d say these things
All of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays
And there is more to living than the way that you were raised
If I’m honest, some things heal
If I’m honest, some things won’t
But you don’t have a broken future
Just cause you’re from a broken home
There might be a day you think it’s all your fault
Beating yourself up for reasons that don’t make sense at all
It was not your fault
It was not your fault
And you’ll wonder if your father’s sins are in your blood
Cause you’ll make mistakes you don’t think you’ll find your way back from
But I know you will
The morning’s coming still
All of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays
And there is more to living than the way that you were raised
If I’m honest, some things heal
If I’m honest, some things won’t
But you don’t have a broken future
Just cause you’re from a broken home
And it’s ok to be mad
It’s ok to cry
And to ask your mom and ask your dad
Why oh why
And it’s ok to feel
Like you’re lost upon the sea
Cause this isn’t how it was meant to be
But you’ll grow up, fall in love, and hold your kids
And you’ll know that you can do things different than they did
And all the hell you’ve seen
Heaven will redeem
All of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays
There is more to living than the way that you were raised
If I’m honest, some things heal
If I’m honest, some things won’t
But you don’t have a broken future
You don’t have to have a broken future
Just cause you’re from a broken home
Just cause you’re from a broken home
