I tried to take a picture
Of everyday I was with you
I tried to take a picture
Of all the happiness you bring
I tried to take a picture
Of the flowers that you sent
The ones that were red
With that very strong scent
I tried to take a picture
Of the day that shined so bright
The way the sun radiated yellow
Giving us its light
I tried to take a picture
Of the nights by the lake
Where we sat in the blackened dark
Smoking getting baked
I tried to take a picture
Of the smile on my face
But I turned the camera around
To hide the clear but staining tears that raced
I tried to take a picture
Of the love around me,dear
But an uncompromising flash burnout
Causes me fear
I tried to take a picture
Of the happiness you bring
But what I captured
Was the truth and its sting
