lyrics

Take these pictures I found of you and me in a shoebox tucked away on the closet floor.
I won’t live in the past haunted by memories that I don’t deserve anymore.

Damn you, for making me love you…
And I damn myself for not closing the door.
Our life broken down to a shoebox that I found;
Snapshots of a life I don’t want anymore.

Sceneries, silhouettes and our portraits;
Polaroids, scratchy old Kodachrome;
Like the life we once shared, now distorted;
Black & whites fade in sepia tones…

Take these pictures I found of you and me in a shoebox tucked away on the closet floor.
I won’t live in the past haunted by memories that I don’t deserve anymore.
I won’t live in the past haunted by your old memories that I don’t deserve anymore.
