Portrait

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 Yes I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise Stay here 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 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, so I'll be here when you rise Stay here 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 This portrait of my life --- Portrait - Mariah Carey
