Cole Merkosky - The Image of Us Lyrics

From the start in our hearts we both saw it clearly
A future for us both and I loved you dearly
'Cause you were everything I'd been searching for
But I guess time changed your mind; yeah, you wanted more

So now the picture of the life we shared
Has been torn apart and discarded somewhere

'Cause the image of us was all that I could see
The portrait of our lives together, you and me
But the stain of your infidelity is made
And the image of us starts to fade

You look at me and all I see, oh, I can't avoid
The bittersweet memories caught in polaroids
Distorted views all of you are all I can seem to find
And every scene looks at me with your brown lying eyes, oh, whoa

So now the photo albums tell the tale
Of how you broke my heart and our love derailed

'Cause the image of us was all that I could see
The portrait of our lives together, you and me
But the stain of your infidelity is made
And the image of us starts to fade

And the image of us was all that I had known
But in breaking my heart your colours have been shown
And it's tarnishing every memory that we've made
And the image of us now, forever changed

You say you just need some forgiveness
And you will try to make it right
But I know I will not forget this
And I can't love you in that light

'Cause the image of us was all that I could see
The portrait of our lives together, you and me
But the stain of your infidelity is made
And the image of us

Oh, oh

Was all that I had known
But in breaking my heart your colours have been shown
And it's tarnishing every memory that we've made
And the image of us now, forever changed
