in a fog - family law

Saw a picture of you
From back when you were young
You were laying in a field
Smiling, in the sun

Sometimes I catch you staring
Into some invisible distance
Reliving a life inside
That I could never know

Wish I could've known you
Before you created me
Wish you didn't put your dreams aside
To raise your family
Wish I could know all of
Your precious hidden memories
That you keep just for yourself
From before

I saw a picture of you
From back when you were bolder
You were making moves, top of the world
Pushing up your boulder

Sometimes I catch you lying
About the things that you left behind
It's hard to know what's true
When you're hiding in a lie inside a lie

Wish I coulda known you
Before I came around
Before you felt the burden
Of raising a family
You probably didn't mean to
But there's times where you hurt me
Sometimes those little things
Carry over from before

I saw a picture of us
From back when we were kids
We were standing by the ocean
I was actin tough, don't let a smile slip

But you were grinning wide
All your missing teeth on display
So lost in the moment
Without a hint of insecurity

Wish I better loved you
When you were still around
Before you moved away
To start your family
I know that I have hurt you
Wasn't the brother I could've been
Try as hard as we might
Just can't go back to before

I saw a picture of me
From back before I knew
