We were frozen in a photograph
Smiling like we'd always last
Didn't see the colors fade
Didn't hear the frame collapse
Now the edges curl and tear
Like we were never really there
Fading polaroids, lost in time
Once so vivid, now just lines
A love so bright, it burned too fast
Some things aren't meant to last
We were here, we were real
But memories forget how to feel
Still got your jacket on the chair
Like you might just reappear
But ghosts don't knock, and hearts don't wait
Only echoes call my name
Now the edges curl and tear
Like we were never really there
Fading polaroids, lost in time
Once so vivid, now just lines
A love so bright, it burned too fast
Some things aren't meant to last
We were here, we were real
But memories forget how to feel
If I could shake the picture clear
Maybe I could keep you near
But life's not ink, it disappears
Leaving nothing but the years
Fading polaroids, lost in time
Once so vivid, now just lines
A love so bright, it burned too fast
Some things aren't meant to last
We were here, we were real
But memories forget how to feel
