Picture Perfect

lyrics

The picture perfect couple
In a picture perfect frame,
In a picture perfect house
Where everything's the same.
Each thing in this picture
Is not what it seems.
This picture perfect life
Was just a shattered dream.

If I told you that I loved you
Would you even really care?
I'll be right here forever
Were you ever really there?
No sadness in the morning,
No scars upon your face.
Tear-stained pillow talk
And the feeling of disgrace.

Will it be like this forever?
Will the damage be undone?
The game we played was short and sweet,
We must have jumped the gun.
When you're left alone with nothing,
And you know you think you won:
This picture perfect couple was just like everyone.

...each thing in this picture
Is not what it seems:
This picture perfect life
Was another Silent Scream.

...each thing in this picture
Is not what it seems:
Your picture perfect life
Was never meant for me.

All my dreams were shattered
Like November '63.
