Seeing that old photo shares a memory I should forget It reminds me of my childhood All the sorrow and regret My family was a contrast Growing up it never changed Moving to a new town Sometimes life just felt deranged Dad would beat my mother As we hid below the bed He'd drink then have another And find us when we fled I ran away at seven And took a friend to help me through They found us hiding in the park What else was there to do As kids we made our minds up To keep the dark at bay But that photo just reminds me It's still in my head today Dad would beat my mother As we hid below the bed He'd drink then have another And find us when we fled One night he tried to burn her Poored whisky down my throat I tried to run away again But couldn't find my coat I really can't remember How my sister felt back then She acted like a grown up But she was really only ten We cried and held on tightly As mum just tried her best She worked her fingers to the bone To help us stand the test Dad would beat my mother As we hid below the bed He'd drink then have another And find us when we fled There were school days I went missing With my friends or just alone I got used to running all the time So far away from home Then one day there was silence No more crashing at the door We held our breath together Waiting for that drunken roar [music] Dad died when living in a park An empty bottle by his side Perhaps his early own life Was why he took to drink, to hide Yes, that photo still reminds me That not all life is fun It's how we use the cards we're dealt Until our livings done Yeah that photo still reminds me It's there just to remind me It's there just to remind me That photo still reminds me........
