lyrics

The picture’s fading, the picture’s fading
The picture's fading, the picture’s fading away

Every moment is a photograph
A mental picture that you don’t ever have to get back
I concentrate just on the negative to try to see the positive
Everybody has a photograph
Everybody has a photograph

Every clock face has a second hand
Independent of the hours, taking a stand
Moving forward it’s own speed, sounds just like you and me
Everybody has a second hand
Everybody has a photographic

Memory of the one who walked out the door
Broke your knees, broke your heart when you fell to the floor
Can’t believe they would leave and you would be alone
Did you believe you could read the thoughts in their mind?
The signs were there if you just would’ve taken the time
To realize that the photograph doesn’t lie

Every flower has a thorn or leaf
Designed specifically to protect it from the thief
That tries to steal its essence in the night
Are you of that certain kind?
Everybody has a photograph
Everybody has a photographic

Memory of the one who walked out the door
Broke your knees, broke your heart when you fell to the floor
You can’t believe they would leave and you would be alone
Did you believe you could read the thoughts in their mind?
The signs were there if you just would’ve taken the time
To realize that the photograph doesn’t lie
The picture’s fading, the picture’s fading away

Memory of the one who walked out the door
Broke your knees, broke your heart when you fell to the floor
Can’t believe they would leave and you would be alone
Did you believe you could read the thoughts in their mind?
The signs were there if you just would’ve taken the time
To realize that the photograph doesn’t lie
The picture’s fading, the picture’s fading
The picture’s fading , the picture’s fading away
