Lined up, filed, on the shelf
Sealed and tucked away
Frozen fragments, stolen moments
Please don't fade away
Please don't go up in flames
Please don't go down in floods
Stay

Here with me to look at and once again see
Tiny hands, innocent eyes, lips - juicy
Full face, rosy cheeks, legs that I could eat
Looking at me, loving me
Holding you, my smile - your smile
Love

Now I sit with you caught in these moments
Us together, happy, so young - naive
You are not here now
You are not with me
You are at another house, another home
With pictures just like these
Life

Where we could have been
The places a different pairing could have seen
You live in your two worlds
I live in mine
It will never be the same
Time

He said
She said
They said
I bled

Blind eye
Don't want to know why
Stay in my issue
Using up tissues

What's behind the abuse
The frustration, accusations, mis-use
Don't look at me they said
It was him, not me she pled
She caused this, it's all in her head

What would I be without my pain
For what else could I use my brain
Than to go over and over the past
I can only be a victim if I finish last

Strip me bare I say
Take my roles and my history away
See who will love the true me then
When my essence remains and I have faced my own sin
