The Ones You Left Behind
you say life is well
and all is fine
so why wont you say that
to the ones you left behind?
you're succeeding
with two new
beautiful kids
will you ever introduce them
to the ones you left behind?
you want to get married
start over with her
is she the reason
there's no longer room
for the ones you left behind?
you haven't seen us in years
no phone calls or tears
for the ones you left behind?
Don't worry about us though
for we are fine
being the ones
you left behind.
