Fractures in the Frame

Verse 1

There’s a crack in the picture we painted

A shadow where sunlight once stayed

The smile in the glass feels faded

But I still trace it anyway

Pre-Chorus

Every color bleeds into grey

I see the lines but look away

Chorus (soft, but passionate)

Fractures in the frame,

Love’s not the same

The pieces shift, the light won’t stay

Fractures in the frame—

I try to hold on, but it slips away

Verse 2

Your voice echoes in the silence

Like a song I almost know

Every word feels like a distance

From the truth we used to hold

Fingers brush but don’t connect

Like we’re strangers in a dream

I keep chasing what we were

Through the blur of what we’ve been

Bridge (building, fragile but emotional)

If I turn the frame just right, will it hide the cracks?

Or am I just holding onto something that won’t come back?

We were perfect in the stillness, frozen in that light—

But every moving moment shows the fracture lines

And I don’t know if I should stay

Or let it fall and drift away

If breaking means we finally see…

What we were, and what we’ll never be

Chorus (soft, but passionate)

Fractures in the frame,

Love’s not the same

The pieces shift, the light won’t stay

Fractures in the frame—

I try to hold on, but it slips away

Outro (Spoken over piano/strings)

Do we keep pretending?

Or let the image break?

Through the cracks, I wonder…

Was it ever real, or just a rose-glass mistake?
