Love for a Child

There's a picture on my kitchen wall

Looks like Jesus and his friends involved

There's a party getting started in the yard

There's a couple getting steamy

in the car parked in the drive

Was I too young to see

this with my eyes

By the pool last night

apparently

The chemicals weren't mixed properly

You hit your head

and then forgot your name

And then you woke up

at the bottom by the drain

And now your altitude

and memory's a shame

What about taking this empty cup

and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough it's probably

because when you're young

It's okay to be easily ignored

I like to believe it was all

about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles

Who was there to handle

all the broken bits of gl***

Was it mom who put my dad

out on his ***

or the other way around

Well I'm far too old

to care about that now

What about taking this empty cup

and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough it's probably

because when you're young

It's okay to be easily ignored

I'd like to believe it was

all about love for a child

It's kinda nice to work

the floor since the divorce

I've been enjoying both

my Chris**ases

and my birthday cakes

And taking dr*gs and ma*ing love

at far too young an age

And they never check

to see my grades

What a fool I'd be to

start complaining now

What about taking this empty cup

and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough

it's probably because

when you're young

It's okay to be easily ignored

I'd love to believe it's

all about love for a child

It was all about love
