Dad's spinning 'round the room cause daddy is sick
He goes for his medicine and takes a sip
But it sure seems he gets sicker and sicker with every sip of medicine that he drinks
Out goes the bottle and in the abuse
I'd say 'stop' but the words hurt less than the bruise
My mommy, my mommy, stood up before me
Fell down so hard that it shook
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room up
One plus another, bruise equals two
I've been trying to hide 'em but they do math at school
My friends unbothered, play with each other
But me, I'm playin' it cool
It's a game I play
Every single day
Hmm hmm
I play
Don't know what to say
When the day is done
Counting has begun
Hmm hmm
I run
Don't know where to run
So I cry about it
And hope for better
Then laugh about it
'Cause I know better
I'm meant to lose
No game without it
Who makes the rules
To shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room up
Dad's spinning round the room cause that's who he is
I think that the bottle holds the love I miss
Tell me: what's home, when pain's all he knows, but a jack-in-the-box made of sand and bricks
It's a game I play
Every single day
Hmm hmm
I play
Don't know what to say
When the day is done
Counting has begun
Hmm hmm
I run
Don't know where to run
So I cry about it
And hope for better
Then laugh about it
Cus I know better
I'm meant to lose
No game without it
Who makes the rules
To shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room up
Home is where the heart is
Where you walk after you crawl
Where 'yes dad?' is the answer
When 'sweetheart!' is the call
Home, is where heart is
Not the building, but the mood
That you get in when you walk into the room
Oh I cry about it
And hope for better
Then laugh about it
Cus I know better
I'm meant to lose
No game without it
Who makes the rules
To shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
Shake the room, shake the room
