Photograph
(album: In Recovery)
Sixteen. You looked like a photograph.
Pristine. I still recall when I saw you.
And I still see you standing there. Yea I still see you.
That was then. This is now.
And I often wonder how I´ve held myself together for so long.
Honor was lost. Rumors were true
What came through town and wiped out everyone I knew?
I won´t break down. No, not this time.
That faded photograph´s not yours. It´s mine.
You knew me better than anyone.
Is it me who´s changed or is it everyone?
But I still see you. This distance makes us closer.
By my side. I Tell myself that I still see you
Even though I´m broke in two ways
Empty hands a different face
I might as well just change my name and leave this town.
I think anonymity´s what´s needed now.
I won´t be a martyr. It´s too overrated.
Where the hell´s that picture I´ve always wanted painted?
I may not have the answer. All I really need is time
And I may never find it out
But I´ll be damned if I won´t try.
It´s not so bad. There´s still a few.
It must have been my eyes distorting everyone I knew.
I won´t break down. No, Not this time.
This faded photograph´s not yours.
