Portrait lyrics

Where do I go from here?

How do I disappear?

Here beyond the looking glass

Somewhere off the beaten path

Heartache never seems to pass

Just lasts

And I'd go

Yet I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise

Stay real close and the moment will subside

Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside

I won't let the teardrops spill tonight

Just conceal myself and hide

A portrait of my life

Somewhat desensitized

Still the same hopeful child

Haunted by those severed ties

Pushing past the parasites

Down but not demoralized

Unconfined

But don't let go

Yes, I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise, rise

Stay here close and the moment will subside

Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside

I won't let the teardrops spill tonight

Just conceal myself and hide

A portrait of my life

And for the finale, she can float around effortlessly

And dream away the hours in her mind

And I'd let go

Yet I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise

Stay here close and the moment will subside

Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside

I won't let the teardrops spill tonight

Just conceal myself and hide

This portrait of my life
