Photograph
 
All I have left of you is this old photograph
When you were once my better half
 
And As I gaze into the bathroom mirror
All of these lines on my face getting clearer
 
I will do my best to take our breakup it all in stride
But how many tidal waves does one have to ride
 
Lately my life has been nothing but tears
I’m hearing your voice echo all of my fears
 
Guess I will be on life’s journey on my own
Walk for miles and miles till I get home
 
One might get burned be careful where you touch
I loved you back but I guess that wasn’t enough
 
Maybe you’ll look back and appreciate my love one day
Probably by then you will be a million miles away
 
I will no longer have your hug and goodnight kiss
Drives me crazy when I think of all the love we will miss
 
We were arm in arm in that old photograph
Too bad the good days weren’t meant to last
 
Once we were happy with days full of bliss
All of those sunny days my heart’s going to miss
 
I watched helplessly as ferocious tides turned
As all of our memories together just burned
 
Going to hang that photograph on my bedroom wall
As I sit forever awaiting your incoming call
 
No heartfelt calls coming in on my telephone
I Guess me and my heart a truly all alone
