there's a photograph hanging on the wall

a frame in the shape of a heart

won't let that picture fall

another place, another time

it's so hard for you to believe

I left that place behind



well I'm standing in front of you now

right here, tonight



do you see me? (can you really see?)

do you see me as I am?

can you hear me?

can you hear me when I speak

open up your eyes tonight

before the tears start to fall

love is no more than any photograph on the wall



the years get swept like dust by a broom

and memories burn like a flame

inside an empty room

I need to make new memories now

but you want to keep me in yours

as if you could somehow



do you want some prisioner of time?

or someone to love?



do you see me ? (can do you really see?)

do you see me as I am?

can you hear me?

can you hear me when I speak?

listen to my voice tonight

and let the words find your heart

there is nothing but your fear to keep us apart



(time) time can be a master thief

with no conscience it seems

(don't)don't become a victim again

forever chasing endless dream



do you see me?

do you see me as I am?

can you hear me?

can you hear me when I speak?
