• This is only a picture,
    taken too long ago.
    There's no one in it,
    that you would ever know.
    On the left you see a child,
    That child was once me.
    I'm a different person now,
    in a different reality.
    The other two are teenagers,
    I call them mom and dad.
    They did their best to raise me well,
    and they didn't do that bad.
    They still walk the ground,
    even though they're not here.
    Daddy's always working,
    and there’s four kids who share.
    Mommy's always on the run,
    from what we've made her life.
    Drinking till the bar runs dry,
    its never a pretty sight.
    We've all changed so much,
    in 15 years of time.
    We all know where we stand,
    when this pictures on the line.
    Daddy doesn’t care anymore,
    Mommy's already moved on.
    The baby in the picture,
    is already too far gone.
    So this is what it looks like,
    My happy family,
    but in the end this is a picture,
    that wasn't meant to be.
