I polished all the China
While you drank yourself to sleep
You woke up with full of anger
Took out all your rage on me
Sat there feeling blackeyed
Accepted all apologies
Lullabies of vitriol
As I tried to get to sleep
And you wonder (you wonder)
What caused these distances
Saw you punch my brother
While mother called me queer
You gambled away the money
That we really needed here
Told me you were leaving
Just to see if I would cry
Got a bad case of depression
And you left me there to die
And you wonder (you wonder)
What caused these distances
I made sure all the mirrors
Were streak free and clear
As I wondered if this was the truth
Behind your teenage years
This wasn't like the TV shows
This wasn't like my friends
I prayed in the corner
That you wouldn't drink again
And you wonder (you wonder)
What caused these distances
