Pictures in the Frame

(Verse 1)

I scroll through my phone, one last time,

See your face frozen in a moment in time.

Every smile, every glance, every word we said,

Now just shadows in the corners of my head.

I hit delete, try to erase the past,

Pretend that the hurt doesn’t last.

But your laughter echoes in the empty room,

And the ghost of us still lingers like a tune.

(Chorus)

I drink, I drink, but it doesn’t numb the pain,

Pour another glass, but it all feels the same.

I’m pretending I’m fine, hiding the scars you left,

But the memories cling like smoke in my chest.

(Verse 2)

We used to look at each other like the world was ours,

Now I’m just tracing your shadow in the dark hours.

Every street, every song, every place we knew,

Whispers your name, and it pulls me through.

I deleted the pictures, but I can’t delete you,

Your smile, your touch, your love I once knew.

I tell my friends I’m okay, I’ve moved along,

But the truth is I’m broken, and the nights are long.

(Chorus)

I drink, I drink, but it doesn’t numb the pain,

Pour another glass, but it all feels the same.

I’m pretending I’m fine, hiding the scars you left,

But the memories cling like smoke in my chest.

(Bridge)

Maybe time will teach me to forget,

But I’m drowning in a sea of regret.

Every photo gone, but the story remains,

Every heartbeat aches in silent refrains.

(Chorus)

I drink, I drink, but it doesn’t numb the pain,

Pour another glass, but it all feels the same.

I’m pretending I’m fine, hiding the scars you left,

But the memories cling like smoke in my chest.

(Outro)

I deleted the pictures, but not the love,

It’s still there, lingering, like a ghost above.

I’ll pretend I’m okay, but inside I know,

Some pain doesn’t fade, it just quietly grows.
