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
