The day (or universal family)

My father never told me
that it was all such a joke
even though it still means something

My mother never told me
that it hurts to break people
but that it just means nothing

My father once told me
that hard work and dedication
was all it took

My mother once told me
that lying was not good
and that the only friends you truly have are family

Well, it means something
and that's just the way it is

It hurts to break people
and there's no way around it

It does work; the work
but this isn't what it is

I lied a lot as a kid
and now I don't, I really don't, but I still do

And friends, well, they're just
the best friends

And it all means nothing
but I love my mom and my dad
just the same
