lyrics

An unflattering photo
In a plain black wooden frame
Never moving its location
Though nothing in it is the same

It rests upon my nightstand
I stare at it every night
Wondering how we went so wrong
Knowing we can’t make it right

All that’s left
Of me and you
Is a dusty photograph
Sits in its frame
The middle taped
I once tore it in half
That mem’ry
Of our special day
The picture torn and tattered
Sits in its frame
An image of a
Love before it shattered

I wish I’d never torn it
The way you tore us apart
The damage unrepairable
No way for a restart

There’s nothing on your nightstand
Your side empty every night
Do you regret what you did wrong
And you’ll never make it right

All that’s left
Of me and you
Is a dusty photograph
Sits in its frame
The middle taped
I once tore it in half
That mem’ry
Of our special day
The picture torn and tattered
Sits in its frame
An image of a
Love before it shattered

A memory once perfection
It will never be the same
Now heartbreak taped together
In this plain black wooden frame

All that’s left
Of me and you
Is a dusty photograph
Sits in its frame
The middle taped
I once tore it in half
That mem’ry
Of our special day
The picture torn and tattered
Sits in its frame
An image of a
Love before it shattered
An image of a
Love before it shattered
