Someone That You Knew
(Words & music by Salim Nourallah)


a photo of your mom
    when she was just a girl
an angel in a frame
    you whisper her name
a notebook full of words
    of love and how it hurt
a stolen teardrop stain
    alone on a page

and I always wanted time to stay in place

a picture that you drew
    of someone that you knew
a smily painted face
    drawn on in vain
a warped cassette of me
    singing so happily
an audience of one
    beams like the sun


and I never wanted time with you
    no, I never wanted life with you to be

done
    block out the sun let it shine no more
now i
    i can't freeze time like I used to do
no use
    why do we try, we can never win?
it all ends up the same
    yeah, everything will someday change

a message sent to you
    from someone that you knew
while you cry in your room
    we're right there with you
we're right there with you, oh
