And see a picture perfect life
Dreaming only of the days ahead
Wanted and wished for more than now
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
You can't even stop yourself
Before the words have been spoken
You would give everything
And something for nothing
Everybody thinks you're joking
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
Who'll one day grace a check-out counter
Though the fine print reads
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
When your life is never what you wanted
Just tarnished and soiled
A framed and frozen moment
Not truth or transcendence
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
