My Favorite Picture of You Lyrics
My favorite picture of you
is the one where you're staring
straight into the lens
It's just a polaroid shot
someone took on the spot
no beginning no end
It's just a moment in time
you can't have back
you never left but your bags were packed
just in case
My favorite picture of you
is bent and faded
and it's pinned to my wall
Oh and you were so angry
it's hard to believe
we were lovers at all
There's a fire in your eyes
you've got your heart on your sleeve
a curse on your lips but all I can see
is beautiful
My favorite picture of you
is the one where
your wings are showing
Oh and your arms are crossed
your fists are clenched
not gone but going
Just a stand up angel
who won't back down
nobody's fool, nobody's clown
you were smarter than that
My favorite picture of you
is the one where
it hasn't rained yet
Oh and as I recall
came a winter squall
and we got soaking wet
It's a thousand words
in the blink of an eye
the camera loves you and so do I
click

when a picture can bring back a flood of emotions that it hurts just to look at it... and yet, it's the only thing you've got left and don't want to put it away.
Never understood how anyone could take for granted their own family. People that walk away from that and think life is better on the other side, well it’s not. I am going to be exactly like my parents still are I’m not gonna be a loser I’m not gonna rip my spouse and my children’s hearts apart and ruin everyone’s lives when in the end if you put all that time and effort and love into something and you don’t wanna work at it anymore, you end up alone in the long run anyway and it’s just not worth it. causes nothing but heartache and pain and what are you teaching your children when you caused such pain and agony upon them and your spouse anyway? and I love my parents for showing me and my brothers the difference. I don’t wanna be a giver of such pain to my own family I just don’t understand how people could do that and be so selfish. Incomprehensible to me.
