Story Behind The Song

Was inspired by old photos of my grandparents

Song Description

Woman looking back and realizing old flame never did not love her

Lyrics

I'm the girl with the ribbons
Right by your side
And I'm smiing
But you can see in my eyes
Little question marks
Flickers of doubt
If I held my tears inside
I could drown it out

Chorus -
These old photographs
Faded black and white
They show their true colors
Bring truth to light
How you never loved me
And I never knew
And it took these old photographs
To tell me the truth

And looking back now
I know what went wrong
I was holding on to you
You were just holding on
To a girl with the desire
To make you her man
I was handing you my heart
You thought it was
Just my hand

Repeat chorus
Bridge - I keep them tucked away
In a closet in the hall
In a box on a shelf
And I don't think of them at all
Til I lose something precious
Like when I lost you
ANd I tear thru that colset
And I look through

Chorus
