lyrics

Darkbloom - Family Fortunes

Harold says you’ve never had it so good
Let's be frank, we are the first ones who ever could
The mother country dries a tear from her eye
Children are leaving, goodnight is now goodbye

And you're forever now, the one for me
In a big, small, strange, open world
at best, we'll never see
I'll be your candle lighting darker times
Just take my hand, everything will be alright
Walk with me, love of mine

Don't have much money, ain’t got a plan
Got to do something, get to understand
Ain't got no money, ain’t got a plan
But she’s my woman and I'm her man

A few short years until the family home
Kids still playing outside, he'd come home late
Take her to the bedroom, beat her to a pulp
Kids about, of course, listening in

Is this what you wanted?
Did it just turn out this way?
This could be a heaven if there wasn't hell to pay
Watching every footstep just to make it through the day
This is not the way

On the sick, his working days were through
Barely middle aged and lost none of his wrath
Doctors on alert, not for him, but her
A few times almost killed her
She said she wouldn't leave

(Chorus x 2 - Is this what you wanted?..)

Looking back, boy did I make you pay for my love
Man, was I a little on the mean side
No use now, everyone has a cross to bear
Hold mine and I'll cut you down to my size

No use now, everyone has a cross to bear
Hold mine and I'll cut you down to my size
