Look at me in that photograph
Before we were ever us
Long before you found someone else
And broke our sacred trust
I hardly recognize myself
Sure has been awhile
Amazing how much my life has changed
Since I've worn that smile
What happened to that smile
(chorus)
There I am with my head held high
My step was quick and my eyes were bright
Back when I believed in love
And would lay my heart on the line
I don't know which hurts the most
Losing you or having to see
The picture of the man I was
Before the fool you made of me
I've wasted time here missing you
Doubting who I am
I can't make you something you're not
But I can be me again
Oh deep down I know I can...
Before we were ever us
Long before you found someone else
And broke our sacred trust
I hardly recognize myself
Sure has been awhile
Amazing how much my life has changed
Since I've worn that smile
What happened to that smile
(chorus)
There I am with my head held high
My step was quick and my eyes were bright
Back when I believed in love
And would lay my heart on the line
I don't know which hurts the most
Losing you or having to see
The picture of the man I was
Before the fool you made of me
I've wasted time here missing you
Doubting who I am
I can't make you something you're not
But I can be me again
Oh deep down I know I can...
