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 (No, no)

Yes I know that tomorrow comes
So I’ll be here when you rise (Rise, rise, rise)
Stay here close and the moment will subside
Look the other way as I (As I)
Bottle myself up inside (Bottle up inside)
I won’t let the teardrops spill tonight
Just conceal myself and hide
This 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 (Tomorrow)
So I’ll be here when you rise (Rise, rise, rise)
Stay here close and the moment will subside (The moment will subside)
Look the other way as I (Look away, look away)
Bottle myself up inside
I won’t let the teardrops spill tonight (I don’t even know)
Just conceal myself and hide
This portrait of my life
