Every once in a while you seem to cross my mind
See your face in a stranger as they're passing by
I swear sometimes I can hear you from the other side
I can't make out the words but it's a voice I recognize
One look at this photograph
The tears come flooding and my mind starts rushing back
To the places we used to laugh
Ain't it cruel how it all ends just like that
How come life takes the best of us
You were only 17, just growing up
Tell me why does it hurt so bad
When I look at this photograph
When I look at this photograph
I still wonder if things would've been different now
If I'd called you that night before it all went down, down
Didn't know what to say, so I just shut my mouth
It's too late now all I can do is make you proud
One look at this photograph
The tears come flooding and my mind starts rushing back
To the places we used to laugh
Ain't it cruel how it all ends just like that
How come life takes the best of us
You were only 17, just growing up
Tell me why does it hurt so bad
When I look at this photograph
When I look at this photograph
When I look at this photograph
Now it feels more like a dream
Just the ghost of a memory
But it's haunting me, yeah you're haunting me
Oh
One look at this photograph
The tears come flooding and my mind starts rushing back
To the places we used to laugh
Ain't it cruel how it all ends just like that
How come life takes the best of us
You were only 17, just growing up
Tell me why does it hurt so bad
When I look at this photograph
When I look at this photograph
When I look at this photograph
