Verse 1

 I found a way

 To keep a lot of pretty features all the same

 Here at my side

 You keep me warm with inspirations I can’t hide

Pre-chorus 1

 I want to stay

 But the pressures got me believing in all of the lies so I’m

  Left with nothing but anguish – and your photograph

Verse 2

I can pretend

But then the feeling gets the best of me, my friend

It’s kind of strange

To be so full of imperfections we can’t change

Pre-chorus 2

Mmmm, I wanna stay

But it’s just too late though I contemplate my goodbyes and I

Seal it off in a letter - with your

Chorus

Smiling eyes here on a photograph, yes all that I have is your

Smiling eyes here on a photograph, and they’re telling me lies – oh I

Might be a sinner, might be no saint

 But the winds of change have delivered me to my fate

  I need more than a memory, and your photograph

Verse 3

We both depend

Upon the one to understand and comprehend

And though I’ve tried

I’ve got to leave with just an ounce left of my pride

Pre-chorus 3

Yeah, you ought to know

That I’m only human and only you can deny that I

Needed more than a reason – And your

Chorus 2

Smiling eyes here on a photograph, yes all that I have is your

Smiling eyes here on a photograph, and they’re telling me lies – oh I

Might be a sinner, might be no saint

But the winds of change have delivered me to my fate

I need more than a memory, and your photograph.....

Bridge

Your photograph...

I’ve tried to make it, I’ve tried to fight

 But the things that you do, well it’s just not right

If I could turn back the hands of time would it matter? No

Chorus 3

Smiling eyes here on a photograph

Smiling eyes here on a photograph

Smiling eyes here on a photograph, yes all that I have is your

Smiling eyes here on a photograph, and they’re telling me lies – oh I

Might be a sinner, might be no saint

But the winds of change have delivered me to my fate

I need more than a memory
