Picture Frame - Lyrics Critique
by Blair
(Maryland, USA)
Pictures in a frame
While I stumble down the stairs
Locked up tight, afraid what’s not inside
Indulge myself with what I have
Try to find a person to hold
Like I knew, how she always knew
Electric currents run too fast
Alone I am I can’t defend
I can’t decipher how I feel
Tried to say it
But the words stopped in my throat
I fear what has become of me
What truths unfold is this all real?
Sometimes I feel like I want to die
Then I think of what you saw in me
You were the one in the gun
What you did cannot undo
Pain and hurt that won’t surface
Permanent scars won’t heal
Throwing pebbles at a wall
Impenetrable to my words
Electric currents run too fast
Alone I am I can’t defend
I can’t decipher how I feel
Tried to say it
But the words stopped in my throat
I fear what has become of me
What truths unfold is this all real?
Sometimes I feel like I want to die
Then I think of what you saw in me
You should’ve been the one to go
How could she leave me all alone
Prisoner to the worst one
Upside down and inside out
But you could never find out
What truth that I hide
Electric currents run too fast
Alone I am I can’t defend
I can’t decipher how I feel
Tried to say it
But the words stopped in my throat
All relations are at an end
I must let go I know what’s left
And all I have left
Is her picture in a frame
