I was blessed enough to take my daughters to a Matthew West and Josh Wilson concert tonight. I have more to blog about but I wanted to immediately post lyrics to an impactful song Matthew West played called “Two Houses”. It is about divorce from a child’s perspective. Any couples thinking about that as an option for them need to hear this song first.
Two Houses
Matthew West
Well mom found her a new place to live
and dad found him a new girlfriend
looks like everybody’s moving on
and it’s hey look on the bright side kid
now you’ve got two Christmases
and it’s every other weekend from now on
Yeah, but all i want
is the way it was
when love would always last forever
and families stayed together
back to the day before two houses
when you held my hands when i was little
before i got caught in the middle
somewhere in between two houses
cause these two houses
sure don’t feel like home
Wide eyed wonder grows up fast
trust is shy and nothing lasts
and im thinking maybe it was all my fault
And will i ever get back to
The innocence that ionce knew
Before that summer turned into the fall
But when i close my eyes
I go back in time
When love would always last forever
And families stayed together
Back to the day before two houses
When they held my hands and i was little
Before I got caught in the middle
Somewhere in between two houses
Cause these two houses
Sure don’t feel like home
I heard about love that never leaves
So I’m asking you to show me
And talkin to you down here on my knees
Feels like you’ve always known me
When love would always last forever
And families stayed together
Back to the day before two houses
When you held my hands when i was little
Before I got caught in the middle
Somewhere in between two houses
These two houses
These two houses
But tonight my heart has finally found a home
