Her Photograph


(please wait for the IMEEM to load. It plays automatically after 5 or 10 seconds.)








she smiles even though she's sad,

she laughs when she's hurting
she's perfected the curve of her lips--
it looks so happy it hurts, sometimes.

so beautiful and lonely
as she tiptoes across the sand
careful, she's gonna go
and fade in the night.

chorus 1:
find her lying beneath the stars
--where the ocean spray sparkles--
they shine for her

she stares in the mirror
and as her tears fall down
she tries, she smiles
before the glass can break
before the glass, she's breaking up

chorus 2:
and her fists are pressed against the wall
locked herself, and no one can hear


bridge:
press rewind to freeze the frame
where her lips turn up on the corners
press rewind to freeze the frame
where she hits the wall(freeze, and over again)
press rewind to freeze
and capture her smile in photograph
