Truth

I kept calling, no one replied. I thought the silence meant they were alive

Just too busy, just out of reach. But time doesn't wait, it takes what it keeps

They've been gone for these years. Only shadows left appear

All that's left in a photo frame, and I've been whispering their names

The photograph cracked, the edges worn. I held it close like the day they were born

Faces smiling, frozen in place. But the truth breaks, though in strangers' face

They've been gone for all these years. Only shadows left appear

And all that's left in a photo frame, and I've been whispering their names

You've been looking for a ghost, someone said to me

They left long ago, but you just can't see

The phone never rang, the line stayed still

Yeah, because they're gone, and they always will

They've been gone for all these years. Only silence left to hear

All that's left in a photo frame, and I've been whispering their names

I reach for the phone, but the line is gone

I hold the picture, and I move on

Their faces blur, but I still know they're all that's left in a photo
