Lyrics

There's a pic-ture on my kit-chen wall Looks like Je-sus and his friends in-volved There's a par-ty get-ting star- ted in the yard And there's a cou-ple get-ting stea-my in the car parked in the drive Was I too young to see this with my eyes? And by the pool that night, a-ppa-rent-ly The che-mi-cals weren't mixed pro-per-ly You hit your head and then for-got your name Then you woke up at the bo-ttom by the drain And now your al-ti-tude and me-mo-ry's a shame What a-bout ta-king this emp-ty cup and fil-ling it up With a li-ttle bit more of in-no-cence I ha-ven't had e-nough It's prob-'ly be-cause when you're young It's o-kay to be ea-si-ly ig-nored I'd like to be-lieve it was all a-bout love for a child When the house was left in sham-bles Who was there to han-dle all the bro-ken bits of glass Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the o-ther way a-round Well I'm far too old to care a-bout that now What a-bout ta-king this emp-ty cup and fil-ling it up With a li-ttle bit more of in-no-cence I ha-ven't had e-nough It's prob-'ly be-cause when you're young It's o-kay to be ea-si-ly ig-nored I'd like to be-lieve it was all a-bout love for a child It's kind of nice to work the floor since the di-vorce I've been en-joy-ing both my Christ-mas-es and my birth-day cakes And ta-king drugs and ma-king love at far too young an age And they ne-ver check to see my grades What a fool I'd be to start com-plai- ning now What a-bout ta-king this emp-ty cup and fil-ling it up With a li-ttle bit more of in-no-cence I ha-ven't had e-nough It's prob-'ly be-cause when you're young It's o-kay to be ea-si-ly ig-nored I'd like to be-lieve it was all a-bout love for a child It was all a-bout love
