You say you're happy today
But I see the way you look
At old photographs
You've told me so many times
That everything is fine
But as the days go on
The light fades from your eyes
Every time you bring up the past
I can almost hear your cries
Unsettling, broken, missing
You say you never would go back
I know your look when you lie
And I can't quite decide
Whether to pretend to believe you
Things are so different
Then they were before
And I know you wish that you
Could open up that door
