Empty picture frame


I remember when i saw it i thought of us How young we were, yet so in love I thought of songs and things of such That made me think of what there was A spark... so mighty it could burn a city Oh this break up was such a pity What we had made me giddy And i thought i was so witty Thinking you would actually stay with me I emptied the shelves of what reminded me of you, forgetting the past I feel what we had diminished so fast Then i hit the picture frame at last... I stared at my reflection in the glass "What did i do?" I finally asked I hugged the frame tight as tears came my eyes I broke down with all of the lies I never wanted to say good bye I've always wanted you in my life But i suppose I'm paying the price of life... I can't have you, as painful as that is You have a life you want to live But that doesn't dwindle this emptiness Yet, my biggest question: why'd you promise? If you didn't want me, you should have said so Instead of making me feel so alone I tried so hard, worked down to the bone And still I'm stuck, i wish i had known... I wish you told me when i decided to try So I'm not stuck here about to cry Every time that my phone is dry And I realize you're not by my side The frame's empty, like my broken heart I guess it's my story, this is my part I just wish i could restart And tell myself that you'd tear me apart...
