Portrait
Oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
Where do I go from here?How do I disappear?Here beyond the looking glassSomewhere off the beaten pathHeartache never seems to pass, just lastsAnd I’d go
Yet I know that tomorrow comesSo I’ll be here when you riseStay real close and the moment will subsideLook the other way as I bottle myself up insideI won’t let the teardrops spill tonightJust conceal myself and hideA portrait of my lifeLa da da da daDa La da daDa daLa da da da daDa La da daDa da
Somewhat desensitizedStill the same hopeful childHaunted by those severed tiesPushing past the parasitesDown but not demoralizedUnconfined, but don’t let go
Yes I know that tomorrow comesSo I’ll be here when you rise (Rise)Stay here close and the moment will subsideLook the other way as I bottle myself up insideI won’t let the teardrops spill tonightJust conceal myself and hideA portrait of my life
And for the finale, she can floatAround effortlesslyAnd dream away the hours in her mindAnd I let go
Yet I know that tomorrow comes (Tomorrow)So I’ll be here when you rise (Rise, rise, rise)Stay here close and the moment will subside(The moment will subside)Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside(The other way, other way)I won’t let the teardrops spill tonight (No no no)Just conceal myself and hideThis portrait of my life
Written and Produced: Mariah Carey and Daniel Moore
