about

When you are 12 years old in middle school, distractions in your day aren’t the exception…they are the rule. They include peer approval of your fashion choices to the politics of the lunch room to the new romantic interests of someone who sits behind you in history class. The battle for the notoriously short attention span of the average middle school student is intense…and this is just inside the school walls. However, for an increasing number of today’s young people an additional distraction in their young lives can be experiencing the painful dissolution of their parent’s marriage. The relative importance of social studies and long division would pale in comparison to the uncertainty of which house that child will sleep in that night. When Angelique and Nakita of Champion Middle School got the chance to compose lyrics for a song with The Dick & Jane Project, they both wanted to write about their similar experiences with difficulties at home. Each girl wrote a verse and they collaborated on the chorus.

lyrics

I'm lying here
singing this song
feeling heartbroken
Trying to let you go
Gotta not wake up
Look into your face
I see it's not in your eyes

It used to be me
Now it's just you
Slipping behind my back

Now I'm heartbroken
So heartbroken
Just want to get you out of my mind

There's a feeling in my heart
And pain in my heart
I'm heartbroken
Take it to a solo

Now I'm heartbroken
So heartbroken
Just want to get you out of my mind
