"I was thinking how nothing lasts and what a shame that is."-Benjamin Button


I have pictures of you everywhere
But I'd rather just forget everything

Chorus:
It's like you can't go one day without still thinking of him
It's like the one you lost is still within
And you can't forget
No, you can't forget
It's life and death
And this burden you live with

You don't have to cry
And you don't have to feel
You don't have to die
You can still live
It's just the burden you have to live with

Store it in the back of your precious memories
Wake up and feel his presence within your dreams
There must be a portal between the dream world and the dead
Because he's still living there inside my head

Bridge:
I have pictures of you everywhere
But I don't speak your name
I have pictures of you everywhere
But I can't bring myself to say
I have pictures of you everywhere
But it is my burden to bear

Chorus:
It's like you can't go one day without still thinking of him
It's like the one you lost is still within
And you can't forget
No, you can't forget
It's life and death
And this burden you live with

I have pictures of you everywhere
