Lyrics

Found a photograph, why is it torn in half
I don't recognize these faces, or the colors or the places

I don't know what I've become, a painted heart that
doesn't run
A pale shade where my memories all fade
Where did those colors go, I see them but don't know
If that photograph is even really me
If we shot that scene again, could I give more, could I bend

Found a photograph, why is it torn in half
Tape won't hold this together, or hide how much it's weathered

Did I ever mean to do all the things that I have done
Who understands these images of me
I'd take back all the worlds, lack of colors in my courage
And pretend those days would never end
If we shot that scene again, could I give more as a friend

I don't know what I've become, a painted heart that
doesn't run
A pale shade where my memories all fade
Where did those colors go, I see them but don't know
If that photograph is even really me
If we shot that scene again, could I give more, could I bend

Found a photograph
