I know I've not been around
But if I don't do the garden
You know it gets me down
I met the children in town
They said I must make the effort To say how I feel out loud
And I need to try harder You're not to blame
I'm the gist of a rumor You lost yesterday
On the day I became
A photo that came in a frame
You know it still breaks my heart
When you stand by the door
Like an angry question mark
The canned laughter's begun
Soundtrack to a party That's long been over
and done
No talk of remission No miracle cures
But a shadow on an x-ray Exclusively yours
You're never sure why I came The photo they sent in the frame
And I need to try harder
You're not to blame
I'm the gist of a rumor You lost yesterday On
the day I became A photo that came in a frame
It's the gift that keeps taking you further away
On the shelf full of records you've never heard play
It's the day I became The photo that came in the frame
