Blurry Photograph
When you said that you were leaving me
You never said you’d take my heart
Now don’t bother sending valentines
Baby don’t you even start
In a blurry photograph
There’s always room for two
Maybe you’ll forget my face
My eyes, half closed, see you
We were laughing overtime
Past when the wine ran out
I could stand to have this feeling
For the balance of my life
In a blurry photograph
You lean against a tree
The camera caught your perfect smile
But you stare distractedly
Now I’m tearing down the barricades
Sifting the remains
Countless lives have come and gone this way
And sung this sad refrain
In a blurry photograph
Many shades of grey
There’s nothing that can change that now
Still you’ve gone away
