He sat her down at the end of the day
Those nine little words she prayed he never would say
I think it’s best if we both move on
But she couldn’t fathom what had gone wrong
Shaking her head she said baby why now
After 25 years why just walk out
Yea he watched those tears roll down her face
And she said this is all I have to say
Chorus:
Take this house and split it down the middle
You can have the pictures of the kids when they were little
I’ll take the ones of them full grown
And you can have this perfectly broken home
Take that paper and rip it in half
Give me 25 years I’ll never get back
When I took those vows, I meant forever
What about the dreams we made together
She said now we got to tell the kids
About this thing that you decided
I hope our little girl never hurts like this
And that our boy don’t think it was time wasted
I guess now all that’s left
Chorus:
Is to take this house and split it down the middle
You can have the pictures of the kids when they were little
I’ll take the ones of them full grown
And you can have this perfectly broken home
Take that paper and rip it in half
Give me 25 years I’ll never get back
When I took those vows, I meant forever
What about the dreams we made together
Bridge:
Well the weeks went by and those papers were signed
25 years gone at the dotted line
Chorus:
They took that house and split it down the middle
There’s a “for sale” sign outside of the window
And a house once filled with joy and love
And all these years just left to pack up
They go their own way and the tears start falling
It takes all she’s got not to break down and call him
What she doesn’t know, is he’s crying too
He didn’t realize how much he had to lose
Now it’s just a broken home yea a broken home
A broken home yea a broken home
