She’s been on the shelf many times
This time’s nothing new
But she never thought right now
Never thought it would happen with you
Yet she lies still in bed
Unsure of what’s been done
For one false move could be fatal
She could lose her only one
And this picture’s collecting dust
Just sitting on the wall
It’s been hanging there for so long
One false move might make it fall
And this picture’s slowly fading
And the colors bleed away
But if not for this simple picture
I’d not be here today
So she sits in silence tonight
Though the music softly rings
She sits there unmotivated
Not even wanting to sing
Thinking through her mistakes
She notices the change
He’s hardly ever around now
And their conversations aren’t the same
And this picture’s collecting dust
Just sitting on the wall
It’s been hanging there for so long
One false move might make it fall
And this picture’s slowly fading
And the colors bleed away
But if not for this simple picture
I’d not be here today
And this picture’s collecting dust
Just sitting on the wall
It’s been hanging there for so long
One false move might make it fall
And this picture’s slowly fading
And the colors bleed away
But if not for this simple picture
I’d not be here today
And if this picture breaks apart
If it falls apart in two
I’ll stand here unsheltered
And I’ll break apart with you
