Your Picture Hung Itself Lyrics

Put on flesh and run it through
The things you love, they will destroy you
When the seasons change, my scars burn
Another day of I'll never learn

Those words took you but seconds to say
Forever more and since that day
They will replay

I cease to resist your sweet lips
I cease to exist
Your arsenic kiss

The more time passes by
The more I realize you and I
Were just a lie

So many years believing
Belief turned to hope
Hope changed to doubt
That became bitterness
Which to this day
Turns me inside out

Those words took you but seconds to say
Forever more and since that day
They will replay

I cease to resist your sweet lips
I cease to exist
Your arsenic kiss

The more time passes by
The more I realize you and I
Were just a lie

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song means alot to me. I relate it to a really, really bad breakup which I once went through. In everything he says in this song, it sounds like he went through something really hard and over time, he's learning that everything that happened was a lie. At first, he is upset or angry. Soon, that turns to bitterness. In the line, "I cease to resist your sweet lips." it seems like the girl who hurt him, goes back to him, just so that she can hurt him over again and he keeps taking her back. Eventually, he learns that he needs to stay away from her. Agree?
