Picture Frame

~ Lyrics ~

I’m funny

Dads never gonna be proud is he 

I guess I gotta come to terms with that 

And Mommas never really gonna miss me

But that’s what I get for always being so bad 

It’s got my head spinning 

Now I gotta make my own path 

But I’m not happy 

And there’s nothing harder than admitting that 

I wish that we could go back 

But we can’t move passed the past 

And the presents a gift but we never opened it 

But we’re trapped in picture frames of what could have been 

Little pretty memories laced with sin 

Whatever hole you feel, I can’t fill it 

Whatever monster you fight, I can’t kill it 

But I’ve done what you wanted for so long 

That I don’t even know what road I’m supposed to be on 

And I know you never liked my songs 

It’s all I ever wanted and you think it’s wrong 

Looking back on yesterday

Broken dreams and a picture frame

I’m loosing faith I’ll never find out who I am

But I can’t see

Through tears of gold

Cause they’re the only ones that I have left to hold

If it keeps me cold

I’ll never know

A penny for my thoughts won’t cover the cost 

Or regain what we lost once you threw us all off 

I’m not saying it’s all your fault there’s too much unresolved

Seems it’s all boiled down into wounds for salt 

It’s like everyone loves to hate on each other 

But when was it cool to strike down your own brother 

I get that divorce is known to scar a lover but that’s my Mother and I don’t wanna talk bad about her 

I ain’t seen my aunts and uncles in a long time 

And if we do it’s just to say hi I don’t know their life 

We let Brey pass by, aren’t you scared we won’t be there if another cousin dies did you even think twice 

Y’all might be fine but I can’t live with that 

There’s only so much you can put in a rap 

And you can’t reconnect with a Facebook tap 

And there’s only so many head stones I can stand 

Looking back on yesterday

Broken dreams and a picture frame

I’m loosing faith I’ll never find out who I am

But I can’t see

Through tears of gold

Cause they’re the only ones that I have left to hold

If it keeps me cold

I’ll never know

You gave away your own kids 

And now I’m supposed to just forgive and forget 

And to be honest with you my patience is runnin’ thin 

I think we at least deserve some kind of reason

And don’t tell me you were scared that doesn’t make any sense 

Cause we would’ve fought for you until the bitter end 

We waited for you by the window till ten 

Just so you could call and cancel last minute 

If it kills me slow

I’ll never know

Looking back on yesterday

Broken dreams and a picture frame

I’m loosing faith I’ll find out who I am

But I can’t see

Through tears of gold

Cause they’re the only ones I have to hold

The only ones I have to hold
