	A simple song with perhaps a Porcupine Tree influence? Pseudo-psychodelic, anguished alt-rock. Mininal drums (an after-the-fact click track), basic chording, a hanfdul of emotional electric guitar solos, and subtley painful lyrics/vocals.

	Story Behind the Song The inspiration for many songs: the inevitable breakup in a relationship. The title is a play-on-words. Imagine a picture -- a photo -- of a loving couple at happier times. A Kodak moment set in front of a beautiful sunrise. To even remember what it felt like then. To see that image, that picture. All the memories, pain, and confusion it brings. What was wort a thousand words more accurately imitates a tousand swords. Lyrics Our smiling faces What was I thinking then? A framed remembrance Of all the might have been And I fight the tears inside me, the pain the memory sends Look away Look away When I said I loved you What was I thinking then? It couldn’t have been real But it sure as hell wasn’t pretend And the picture tells the story, of a love that never ends Look away Look away I look away ...I walked away ...I walked away And when I said goodbye What was I thinking then? Among the losses I’d count a lover and a friend And every sunrise since just burns that image into my head I look away I look away I look away I looked away The day I walked away ...I walked away (repeat)
