A picture perfect family, a picture perfect life.
A happy and cheerful child,
Who would guess, her family's problems.
Parents who never talk to each other,
An affair happening before her eyes,
How can she act out against her parents,
She turns a blind eye to the events.
She isn't stupid, or blissfully unaware of the situation.
Putting up a mask for other people.
She acts as if nothing is wrong.
Going to school, being with friends.
Nobody knows. Don't ask, don't tell.
Even her parents, don't know,
Her feelings towards her family's problems.
Torn between the two.
She lives giving the impression of a perfect family, a perfect life.
Picture Perfect.

This is awesome...it kind of reminds me of Pink's song: Family Portrait. Its really wierd how families seem ok, but really they're fucked up. and how someone you think isn't effected is.
Really great picture
Torn between the two.
She lives giving the impression of a perfect family, a perfect life.
