Photograph lyrics

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
