Everything Has Changed - William Fitzsimmons

Today I saw my father standing in the graveyard

Looking very somber looking for his mom

When he finally found her he said that it was different

Everything is different nothing’s really changed

My brother would remember sitting in the hallway

Waiting for my father both of us were scared

When the doorknob turned we took off for the stairway

Looking for some cover trying to get away

A guide dog had to serve the role that you would not let

The mother of your children every really play

The office was a dungeon where you hid your fears of

What would really happen if no one ever came

I wonder if you blamed yourself for when she left you

By closing up the garage door and turning on the car

Your father must have lost it your sister couldn’t help you

But dad if you were lonely you had no where to turn

Of father can’t you see the pieces that have fallen on the ground

When you and mom decided nothing could be saved inside this house

Everything has changed

Everything has changed

Last night I had a dream that I was in the graveyard

Looking at my father buried in the ground

I’d swear that I could hear him tell me he was sorry

He told me he was sorry and everything has changed
