Its hard to look at pictures
And know what was going on
Behind my childhood smile
I didnt have such childhood wonder
With all that i had going on
The things that didnt go away
The way i curl up like a child
When im exhausted, everyday
Have i progressed really?
My stuffed animals on my shelf
And my eyes, always teary
Sometimes i still feel like just a child
Trying to be happy in the world
And smiling in every picture
All my struggles, a running stream.
Its just so hard to look at pictures
And know my smile wasnt real
The way that all my happy memories
Were the things that i imagined
And all the struggles that i had
People say that i was young
And so i guess im still a child
Since I'll always feel this numb.
