Behind The Song

I wrote this song about growing up in a home that was torn apart by divorce. I personally had to deal with this when I was 15. Growing up I thought my parents would be together forever, we’d live in the same house our whole lives, and it’d be just like it always was. Unfortunately, that's not how life always works. Divorce is a tough thing to deal with for everyone, but especially kids. You can't help but ask “was I the problem?” I think that was the hardest part about it for me. Wondering if I caused them to fall out of love. It was extremely hard to go from a house full of love, to watching it fall apart. After the divorce, the place I called home just didn't feel like home anymore. It was just a place I existed. Of course life moved on, and the time finally came where that house isn't in our family anymore. It’s weird to think that the place I used to call home is just a memory now.

I remember listening to Stay Together For The Kids by blink-182 and all the emotions I felt listening to that song. I guess that’s why I love music, because it makes you feel less alone. I do believe divorce is sometimes the best option though. If you’re not happy, you deserve a second chance to find someone who brings you to life. People constantly change everyday, it’s hard to believe anyone stays together forever. I guess it's just part of life. For me, it’s just hard to think back on how my life used to be when my parents were together, and when we were all in that same house. How that’s just a distant memory now.
