Just A Photograph

Folder: 
Dedications

Where are you now, where did you go



We've been searching the hills just to say hello

We know who you are, we know your name

But the tension it's caused isn't the same

As coming to visit on a summer day

It's like cringing and wanting to hide away

And cry in the dark because we thought we knew

How long it would take just to find you

But now it's over, the search is done

But our hearts hang low like the setting sun

Now we have just a photograph to remember you by

And when we remember it makes us cry

We scream and shout and we call each other names

Because like I said, it isn't the same

When bad things happen and we pretend

That things can go back to normal the way they have been

But only a photograph in our hands

It's like holding a handful of sand

It slips away, cause it's not enough

But as times changes it's gonna be tough

To remember your laugh or your voice

Cause someone decided to take you by choice

What makes it sad and unbelievably true

It's that they decided to take your parents too

What we know as time starts to fly

It will be easier and easier to say goodbye



Goodbye.
