Child's Voice

That bottle of booze might be old news But it never kept you from me Your addiction switched from alcohol to her She's tricked you to think I'm an evil little girl Possessed with her looks and mind You had no problem leaving my existence behind Too much for you, shutting the door seemed like the easiest choice I hope every day for the the rest of your life you hear this child's voice How does it feel to know you're not there When you look at her, Does she have enough happiness to share I can't imagine yours is real So she'd have to have more than enough to steal For you to get by and fake Your okay with your choices and your fate
