As Still as a Photograph

I used to say that I'd readily swim
The seven seas for you
Now, I can't reach the shore
I used to say that only I held the key to your heart
Now, I can't find the door
Slowly fading like a painting on your wall
Yet as clear as the sound of your laugh
Forever captured in my mind you'll remain
As still as a photograph
My shoes are now worn from walking too far
Still farther I go,
My hands are so tired from hiding the scar
Still I refuse to show
And though I know that it's wrong,
You're still my concern
Like a thorn in my side,
It's hard to be strong
When you've nowhere to turn
When you've nowhere to hide
Slowly fading like a painting on your wall
Yet as clear as the sound of your laugh
Forever captured in my mind you'll remain
As still as a photograph (2x)

Hay Tu Hu Hahay
Yeah

And though the wound burns, it's mine to keep
To hold in my arms,
And to sing me to sleep,
For it's all that I have,
I now realize,
The memory lives when reality dies
When reality dies

Slowly fading like a painting on your wall
Yet as clear as the sound of your laugh
Forever captured in my mind you'll remain
As still as a photograph

Slowly fading like a painting on your wall
Yet as clear as the sound of your laugh
Forever captured in my mind you'll remain
As still as a photograph
