Backwards

You fill spaces I glance to in phases
When I feel displaced
In between keeping seats warm
While the poser performs
Happy are the cracked at the seams

Oh, you used to love my bad side
'Til you found out he was real
Now the rock has met the hard place
And he's been quite the steal

Took the frame and left the picture
Took the meat right off the bone
Took the words right out my mouth, girl
They never were my own
How can we be moving backwards
When we ain't been here before?
Took the frame and left the picture
The hinges off the door

You told me to hold my hands out
To take all that you could do without
But I've seen it all before
It's all mine

So I wouldn't do it if you paid me
I couldn't do it if I tried
My shoulders couldn't hold the weight, girl
But I bet your cold heart might

Took the frame and left the picture
Took the meat right off the bone
Took the words right out my mouth, girl
They never were my own
I've been waiting for a change, dear
But a watched pot never boils
Took the lenses out my glasses
The flower from the soil
Loving you was watching paint dry
Loving me took half the time
Running circles 'round the last girl
To run circles 'round my eyes
How can we be moving backwards
When we ain't been here before?
Took the frame and left the picture
I'm breaking down the door
