Faded Polaroids on the mantle (versie 2)

Verse 1

Faded Polaroids on the mantle frame

Last summer's laughter and a worn-out name

Coffee rings on the windowsill

A whole year gone like yesterday still

Your handwriting on the inside cover page

Creases where we folded the same map three times

I kept you close but now it's thinning out

Just a memory, no real weight to hold

Pre-Chorus

Maybe that's what I've been holding onto this long

The ghost of something that already moved on

I'm not looking for you, just for where we were then

Before the colors started to fade in and blend

Chorus

Faded Polaroids, they don't lie

We had a moment that never said goodbye

Even if it's gone, I still keep you near

Just these old photographs and my own disappearing tears

Verse 2

The frame has cracks where the glass once broke

Your smile keeps on shining through the smoke

I thought we'd be more but now it seems

Every memory is just a different kind of dream

You moved away, left me with this stack

All these little pieces, none of them look back

Some things don't last like they promised would

But I still find myself thinking 'maybe someday you'll'...

Pre-Chorus

Maybe that's what I've been holding onto this long

The ghost of something that already moved on

I'm not looking for you, just for where we were then

Before the colors started to fade in and blend

Chorus

Faded Polaroids, they don't lie

We had a moment that never said goodbye

Even if it's gone, I still keep you near

Just these old photographs and my own disappearing tears

Bridge

Maybe some things are not meant to last

But in my mind we're still exactly where we were before the past

I won't forget the way your eyes would smile through me

Even when nothing else is left of you or me

Chorus

Faded Polaroids, they don't lie

We had a moment that never said goodbye

Even if it's gone, I still keep you near

Just these old photographs and my own disappearing tears
