Sahlene Photograph
There's a picture on the bedroom wall
Of you and me a few years ago
Love was written in our eyes
Like it was made for you and I
Life was so easy then
You were my lover and my best friend
It never did occur to me
That it wasn't really meant to be forever
I'm looking at the photograph
Thinking it was made to last
But somehow we fade away
And every single passing day
Color turning into gray
Somehow we fade away
I'm looking at the photograph
I thought we were made to last
I remember staying up all night
Making love to the morning light
Now there's nothing left to talk about
Cause we said it all before
I can't afford to live a lie
And please don't say I didn't try
And now I'm taking off my ring
'Cause it don't fit the way it used to baby
I'm looking at the photograph
Thinking it was made to last
But somehow we fade away
And every single passing day
Colour turning into gray
Somehow we fade away
Leaving an epmty frame
I'm looking at the photograph
I thought we were made to last
Remember how you used to make me shiver
(by the touch of your fingers)?
You could make me laugh like a child
Now I see us in a different light
It's too late to make it alright
And every single dream that we had
Vanished in the dark like a camera's flash
I'm looking at the photograph
Thinking it was made to last
But somehow we fade away
And every single passing day
Colour turning into gray
Somehow we fade away
Leaving an epmty frame
I'm looking at the photograph
I thought we were made to last
