taking pictures(all of us)

by Antwan Fields - Aries

we'd taken our pictures, arms around each other
in our winter coats
who'd have known that we'd be at each other's throats?
the fighting that we've done, all for one
it might as well have been fun
and you'll graduate and leave me
in the wake of my failure
i groan with pain as i feel the emotion overcome me
and i feel the heaviness of my heart
overall, i think i'll cry
when we are forced to part
but for now i'll laugh
put on a big fake smile
every time, every time
ill walk a five-minute mile
so i hold up my camera
our smiles are very fake 
i know that together these are
the last pictures we'll take.
