Portrait lyrics - Mariah Carey

 Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

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

La da da da da

La da da da da

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 (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 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
