Lyrics

I see you when I walk
And I hear you when I talk
And I forgive myself
For all the faults I found in you

Is this how dying starts
With the beating of our hearts?
And so many dreams
Slipping into a sky of blue

Like faded photos in old wooden frames
Distant memories of friends with forgotten names
It’s so delicate
If you get it wrong
You’ll soon forget
And you’ll sing the song out of key
‘Cause that’s the way of memories

And we stood by you
On the precipice of death
And we watched as you
Took your last breath
We don't all go out
At our best, I guess

But I suppose that’s how love goes
It makes us weep and it makes us grow
When I think about you
It only changes the story

Like faded photos in old wooden frames
Distant memories of friends with forgotten names
It’s so delicate
If you get it wrong
You’ll soon forget
And you’ll sing the song out of key
‘Cause that’s the way of memories
When you sing
You’re singing out of key
