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
