Photographs Can Lie

He was wired Dynamite And she was rare as treasure That's not the kind of story you deny In a frame Under glass They'll always be together And so in love But photographs can lie Now they say that I have the gaze That must recall my father Saying "He's my knight My bright morning sun" Now I am mourning everyone See him now Know he cheats Why can't she see through him? He used to be more valiant than vain Put him on A pedestal And it's a long way down there I'll never be his little girl again Now they say that I have the gaze That must recall my father Saying, "He's my knight My bright morning sun" Now I am mourning everyone Someone else will look at me And think he is my lover Developing the image in his eye In a frame Under glass We'll always be together And so in love But photographs can lie
