**[Verse 1]** Remember, you said, “Smile” And then I turned away You took the picture anyway Like you wanted me to stay Late at night, beneath the sheets Half-lit by your phone I hated every picture But I loved the way you posed Somewhere in that lighting Somewhere in the dark I see me still holding you Before we fall apart **[Pre-Chorus]** So now we have the evidence I know the lies he keeps The jury has debated it And for my life, I speak **[Chorus]** Your Honor! Can you witness me? I thought I knew this man Not the one in front of me The one that held my hand In that single photograph You kept there on your phone Did you see my future? Did you already know? Was I something you believed in? Was I someone you could lose? How long did you still love me When that picture came in view? --- **[Verse 2]** Did you scroll past us at midnight Looking for something else? Did my face catch you off guard? Did you stop there by yourself? Did you show somebody pictures And go one swipe too far? Did they see me there beside you? Did they ask you who we are? Did you laugh and keep on moving? Did you turn the screen away? Did you say, “That was somebody” Like I never had a name? **[Pre-Chorus]** I submit this into evidence: Your shoulder under mine The way you looked straight at me Like we still had time **[Chorus]** Your Honor! Can you witness me? I thought I knew this man Not the one in front of me The one that held my hand In that single photograph You kept there on your phone Did you see my future? Did you already know? Was I something you believed in? Was I someone you could lose? How long did you still love me When that picture came in view? **[Verse 3]** I wonder when you deleted it Was it after what you did? Was it weeks before you left me? Was I gone before I knew it? Did your thumb just hover over “Delete from everywhere”? Was there even hesitation? Did you stop because I’m there? Thirty days in recently deleted One last place we got to be Did you let the timer take us? Or erase me instantly? **[Bridge]** Call the witness Call the past Put that night behind the glass Zoom it in Enhance the frame Tell me when you fucking changed Because I’m smiling You’re smiling Nothing looks wrong And that’s the part That kills me— **we look like we belong** So tell the court Tell the room Tell the version I once knew When you looked down at that picture— **did you miss me too?** **[Breakdown]** No, I don’t want it back I don’t need to see I know exactly what it looked like It lives perfectly in me The only picture I remember The only one I didn’t hate Funny how the one I treasured Turned into Exhibit A **[Final Chorus]** Your Honor! Can you witness me? I loved the man I knew If he was never really there Then who was I holding onto? In that single photograph Frozen underneath your thumb We were still somebody Before what we become And maybe you deleted me Like people always do But somewhere for a little while I still existed next to you Did you see my face and miss me? Did your chest hurt like mine does? Did you ever stop and wonder How we got so far from us? **[Outro]** Remember, you said, “Smile” And then I turned away You took the picture anyway And in that room We stayed.
