Portrait

Album: Caution (2018)

  • Where do I go from here?
    How do I disappear?
    Here beyond the looking glass
    Somewhere off the beaten path
    Heartache never seems to pass, just lasts
    And I'd go

    Yet I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise
    Stay real close and the moment will subside
    Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
    I won't let the teardrops spill tonight
    Just conceal myself and hide
    A portrait of my life

    Somewhat desensitized, still the same hopeful child
    Haunted by those severed ties
    Pushing past the parasites
    Down but not demoralized
    Unconfined, but don't let go

    Yes I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise
    Stay here close and the moment will subside
    Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
    I won't let the teardrops spill tonight
    Just conceal myself and hide
    A portrait of my life

    And for the finale, she can float around effortlessly
    And dream away the hours in her mind
    And I'd let go

    Yet I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise
    Stay here close and the moment will subside
    Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
    I won't let the teardrops spill tonight
    Just conceal myself and hide
    This portrait of my life Writer/s: Daniel Moore, Mariah Carey
