Jesse Palter - Paper Trail

I must admit, I've come across a photograph of us, and wondered once or twice
Where we went wrong as I stared right at our smiles frozen like ice
Suffice to say, I have a knack for sentimental things and ya I've paid a price
It's hard for me to let go once it's ended, or admit it can't be mended
But that's just how I choose to roll the dice

I don't remember who I was when I was who I was with you,
I don't remember who you were when you were there with me too
No I don't remember who I was when I was who I was with you,
I don't remember who you were when you were there with me too

Now all that's left to show, this paper trail of everything that we let go
I guess we'll never know what could've been if our love had a chance to grow
But this photo to remind us it was nice for just a moment in time

It's been a while but there are still some things I can't forget, no matter how I try
Like how I cried when I questioned if our love would live or die (why, oh why?)
I made a list of all things about you that I liked and I couldn't deny
That you were perfect down on paper, I had nothing bad to say except,
You weren't perfect for me in real life

I don't remember who I was when I was who I was with you,
I don't remember who you were when you were there with me too
No I don't remember who I was when I was who I was with you,
I don't remember who you were when you were there with me too

Now all that's left to show
This paper trail of everything that we let go
I guess we'll never know
What could've been if our love had a chance to grow
But a photo to remind us
It was nice for just a moment

Ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo

Now all that's left to show
This paper trail of everything that we let go
I guess we'll never know
What we could've been if our love had a chance to grow
But this photo to remind us of the best of us behind us,
Looking back I saw it coming, wouldn't trade it all for nothing
It was nice for just a moment, I guess life is just a moment in time

It was nice for just a moment in time
Ooo, it was nice for just a moment in time
