[Verse 1]
Midnight late last week, my daughter's diary
Didn't know what it might be until it was open
I only read one page and then put it away
Talk about your big mistakes, hey Shan, nice going

[Chorus 1]
Photos show no tears in her eyes, all those pretty years gone by
I just cannot believe could do that to a child

[Verse 2]
Shannon just flew down. Four days back in town
She sleeps in, lies around, and then she goes out
And then one day she's gone. What should I have done?
Joe turns the TV on with all the lights out

[Chorus 2]
Photos on the wall, she's my baby, she's my baby doll
Is she someone I don't know at all? Is she someone I betrayed?
It's a grey day in the fall and the radio's singing down the hall
And I rise to turn it off cause all I'm seeing is her face, age eight
