The picture’s fading, the picture’s fading 
The picture's fading, the picture’s fading away 
Every moment is a photograph 
A mental picture that you don’t ever have to get back 
I concentrate just on the negative to try to see the positive 
Everybody has a photograph 
Everybody has a photograph 
Every clock face has a second hand 
Independent of the hours, taking a stand 
Moving forward it’s own speed, sounds just like you and me 
Everybody has a second hand 
Everybody has a photographic 
Memory of the one who walked out the door 
Broke your knees, broke your heart when you fell to the floor 
Can’t believe they would leave and you would be alone 
Did you believe you could read the thoughts in their mind? 
The signs were there if you just would’ve taken the time 
To realize that the photograph doesn’t lie 
Every flower has a thorn or leaf 
Designed specifically to protect it from the thief 
That tries to steal its essence in the night 
Are you of that certain kind? 
Everybody has a photograph 
Everybody has a photographic 
Memory of the one who walked out the door 
Broke your knees, broke your heart when you fell to the floor 
You can’t believe they would leave and you would be alone 
Did you believe you could read the thoughts in their mind? 
The signs were there if you just would’ve taken the time 
To realize that the photograph doesn’t lie 
The picture’s fading, the picture’s fading away 
Memory of the one who walked out the door 
Broke your knees, broke your heart when you fell to the floor 
Can’t believe they would leave and you would be alone 
Did you believe you could read the thoughts in their mind? 
The signs were there if you just would’ve taken the time 
To realize that the photograph doesn’t lie 
The picture’s fading, the picture’s fading 
The picture’s fading , the picture’s fading away
