Portrait
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 let go
Yet I know that tomorrow comes (tomorrow)
So I'll be here when you rise (rise, rise, rise)
Stay here close and the moment will subside
(The moment will subside)
Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
(The other way, other way)
I won't let the teardrops spill tonight (no, no, no)
Just conceal myself and hide
This portrait of my life
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 let go
Yet I know that tomorrow comes (tomorrow)
So I'll be here when you rise (rise, rise, rise)
Stay here close and the moment will subside
(The moment will subside)
Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
(The other way, other way)
I won't let the teardrops spill tonight (no, no, no)
Just conceal myself and hide
This portrait of my life
