family law

Saw a picture of you From back when you were young You were laying in a field Smiling, in the sun Sometimes I catch you staring Into some invisible distance Reliving a life inside That I could never know Wish I could've known you Before you created me Wish you didn't put your dreams aside To raise your family Wish I could know all of Your precious hidden memories That you keep just for yourself From before I saw a picture of you From back when you were bolder You were making moves, top of the world Pushing up your boulder Sometimes I catch you lying About the things that you left behind It's hard to know what's true When you're hiding in a lie inside a lie Wish I coulda known you Before I came around Before you felt the burden Of raising a family You probably didn't mean to But there's times where you hurt me Sometimes those little things Carry over from before I saw a picture of us From back when we were kids We were standing by the ocean I was actin tough, don't let a smile slip But you were grinning wide All your missing teeth on display So lost in the moment Without a hint of insecurity Wish I better loved you When you were still around Before you moved away To start your family I know that I have hurt you Wasn't the brother I could've been Try as hard as we might Just can't go back to before I saw a picture of me From back before I knew
