Portrait Of An Apology


words by: Dan Haseltine, Matt Odmark, Steve Mason, Charlie Lowell

Look what I've done
This picture I've painted
It looks like my heart
Or what still remains
Convinced of the weight
Your interpretations
Are not what I see
I wish they could be

'Cause I remember it much redder
And I remember it much brighter

chorus
Can you stay for awhile
Try to imagine this
Could you be for awhile
I can't remember it
Could you fall for awhile
'Cause I can't escape from this

Try to explain
The way that the frame
Doesn't quite fit the image
Or surrounded the edge
It stands on display
What do you see
Behold all the new grey
What's become of the old me

'Cause I remember it much redder
And I remember it much brighter

[repeat chorus]

Can you stay for awhile
Calling, crying, ashamed of what I am not
Really falling, falling into this cage and I can't escape
No, I can't escape
No, I can't

So look what I've done
Picture I've painted
Doesn't quite fit
Or surrounded the edge
But I remember it much redder

[repeat chorus]

I cant escape...
