Lyrics

You were the photograph

You symbolize a captured moment in time (photograph).

I was the frame

I provide the structure or context for that captured moment (frame).

Different in person but just

We appear different outwardly but share a fundamental similarity.

One in the same

Despite differences, we are essentially alike.

Tell me what's going on

Seeking an explanation for your actions.

You're cursing my name

You're expressing anger towards me.

To all of our friends and

Our conflicts are known to both close and disliked acquaintances.

Even friends that we hate

Our disputes are public knowledge.


I've been calling you my friend

I've considered you my friend.

And I've been calling

Simultaneously, I've labeled you my enemy.

You my enemy

Loving is easier when not conflicted internally.

It's easier to love when I'm not

Internal struggle: simultaneous love and self-hate.

Hating every part of me

Holding onto something intangible.

I'm holding on to something

This undefined thing I've held onto.

And that something that I

I never comprehended.

Never knew

Attempts to make me despise myself.

Tries to make me hate myself

This also applies to every part of you.

And every part of you

(Blank line)


You are the sun and

You're both the positive and negative aspects in my life.

You're the cloud in the rain

You're essential in both happy and sad times.

Can you tell me time to leave Before I ask you to stay

Should I leave before you request me to stay?

Can you tell me you're safe

Assurance of your safety is important to me.

When you get home

Checking on your well-being when returning home.

From my house taking all those Backroads driving after sundown

Thinking about your journey through less-traveled routes after sunset.

Move in my head and a

Your impact is in my thoughts and emotions.

Move in my heart

Your influence extends to my emotions.

Never thought I'd ever

I never anticipated feeling this way.

Feel this way so where do I start

The complexity of these feelings leaves me unsure where to begin.

Do I try

Should I make an effort?


Do I put your favorite

Should I play your favorite song?

Song on just to

Just to hear it together?

Play it

(Blank line)

Do I tell you what I'm thinking But I don't know how to say it

Should I express my thoughts, even though I struggle to articulate them?


I've been calling you my friend

I've considered you my friend.

And I've been calling you

Simultaneously, I've labeled you my enemy.

My enemy

Loving is easier when not conflicted internally.

It's easier to love when I'm not

Internal struggle: simultaneous love and self-hate.

Hating every part of me

Holding onto something intangible.

I'm holding on to something and That something that I never Knew

This undefined thing I've held onto.

Tries to make me hate myself

Attempts to make me despise myself.

And every part of you

This also applies to every part of you.
