I keep your picture by my bed
For when I'm feeling sad
And I don't know why I would be
The way your smile looks so real
I feel like I could start to understand your grace

But I
I don't understand
Why you're not here with me
And I
I don't even wanna know
Where else you'd be

'Cause I have photographs and memories
Of the times
When you weren't on my mind
And I was alone
And I have poetry and drawings
Of my life when you weren't on my side
And I didn't know
Just what is love

Writing moments on the wall
The different color keeps
My mind away from missing you
And I can't wait to fall asleep
Slip into my dreams
Where we can dance upon the stars

And I
I'll be as patient as a boy
In love could ever be
And I
I feel like I wasn't real
Until you were a part of me

'Cause I have photographs and memories
Of the times
When you weren't on my mind
And I was alone
And I have poetry and drawings
Of my life
You weren't on my side
And I didn't know
Just what is

I need you back
I need you back
I need you here

I need your smile
I need your eyes
I need you dear

'Cause every line on your face
Makes a beautiful maze
For my eyes to trace

Every line on your face
Makes a beautiful maze
For my eyes to trace

Photographs and memories
Of the times
When you weren't on my mind
And I was alone
