Another Picture

--- 3-22-11

You said, "Baby, I really love you
I'll do anything
I promise I'm forever yours."
But now you snatched it up
Took it and left me tears to sting
Now I'm crying behind closed doors

I miss the days when "I love you"
Meant something in your eyes
'Cuz leaving me's the opposite
But I guess that I really
Shouldn't be so surprised
They always leave me anyways

You promised to be
My knight in shining armor
And to save me from myself
Now we've come to a close
And I'm just another
Picture on your shelf

Every couple goes through
Phases they just can't escape
And I knew that this was ours
My friends have told me they've
Been through it, it's a twist of fate
And if we try we can go far

Am I just stupid for believing
In these fairytales?
My daydreams help to keep me strong
You told me we'd give it a week
And I believed your words
But now I know that I was wrong

You promised to be
My knight in shining armor
And to save me from myself
Now we've come to a close
And I'm just another
Picture on your shelf

You said, "Baby, I'm sorry
But you'll be okay
It won't hurt for very long."
I told that I'd give your
Hoodie back and I loved you
Then when the phone clicked, you were gone

Author's Note: This was by far the most difficult song for me to ever write. I began it during the day he broke up with me, as I felt the change in our relationship. I knew it would happen. Then the day after, I finished it. The melody is absolutely gorgeous, but it's so hard for me to sing. It's a painful song, but I truly love it.
