Pictures Painted Perfectly

If I gave up and just walked away,
that means I would forever lose you,
I never want that to happen,
because there's a chance I may lose the kids too.

They mean the world to me,
nothing could ever really take them away,
because I hold them in my arms, in my heart,
and in memories, every single day.

Once you told me,
that true love would take us places,
it seems to me,
I'm only being led to traces.

Traces of what,
you and I used to be,
traces that slowly come together,
and the pictures painted perfectly.

The love of my life,
with his son right there,
when I look at these pictures,
it's so hard to bare.

Those two little girls,
with their hair put up tight,
who I'd take to school every morning,
and to bed every night.

Last we have the oldest,
in 13 years she's been through so much,
she understands almost everything,
but yet still needs that extra loving touch.

So lets look back on the past,
in pictures that we share,
let's put this family back together,
and forever show we care.
