Lyrics
My Family
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who could've known
Things could have
Gone so wrong
One moment everything is here
the next it is all gone
A child's love
Turns into a bloody mom
Who could've known
Things could have
gone so wrong
Walking through the house
The photographs
line the walls
Memories they hurt
The bloodening will send them all
Please close your eyes
As the blood
makes impact
And say goodbye
cause they are never coming back
My family
They never knew
My family
They never knew
My family
The never knew
My family
