Divide and Conquer
I dream of a day that would not be so bad
 With fun and laughter
 With Mom and Dad
 The divorce has literally torn us apart
 I still love them both
 but they've torn up my heart
 One side is wealthy 
 of Love and Support
 The other is healthy 
 and offers retort.
 Each side holds a piece of my soul
 Without one or the other
 I'll never be whole
 They tell me to choose 
 Mother or Father
 I'm afraid that I'll lose
 Mother or Father
 What do I do?
 Mother or Father
 My heart beats faster
 Mother or Father
 My mind races
 Mother or Father 
 How can I choose?
 Mother or Father 
 I can't take it anymore
 Mother or Father
 STOP! 
 ... I choose niether 
 or maybe its both 
 If you still do not understand
 Here is my oath:
 I love you both equally 
 And that will never change 
 I can't be without either of you
 And that may be strange
 But I am me
 Thats all I'll ever be
 And if you can't deal 
 Well I know how you feel
 Ya'll were my life, my hopes, and my dreams
 But when all that shattered
 So did my soul, my heart, and my feelings
 I was battered like the mix for a cake 
 I felt I didn't matter 'cause my earth began to quake
 I was a little girl who would quiver and shake
 Yet no one came 
 So I rescued myself 
 There was no one else to blame 
 So I blamed myself
 Now I rise out of the ashes
 I am new
 I am me 
 And I will not choose
 Between Mommy and Daddy.
