oh, i carry a photograph

girl of the way you used to be

love looking back at me, now it's just a memory

you were all laughter then

and you were my light when it was dark

how did we lose our way, how did we fall apart



'cause something in our kisses

said love would never end

and deep down you still feel it too

but you won't let me in



so when you smile like mona lisa

my heart falls to pieces

('cause) smiling just can't hide

all the sadness in your eyes

if i could only hold you

love you like i used to

but girl what can i do

when you smile like mona lisa



the way that i held you close

the way that you whispered my name

we made a work of art

know there's just an empty frame



all we had

baby we could have again

and deep down you still feel it too

but you won't let me in



so when you smile like mona lisa

my heart falls to pieces

('cause) smiling just can't hide

all the sadness in your eyes

if i could only hold you

love you like i used to

but girl what can i do

when you smile like mona lisa



so when you smile like mona lisa

my heart falls to pieces

('cause) smiling just can't hide

all the sadness in your eyes

if i could only hold you

love you like i used to

but girl what can i do

when you smile like mona lisa



i carry a photograph

girl of the way you used to be
