"Pictures" lyrics

"Pictures"

There's a four-by-six of a sunset kiss
And one of you laughin' at me catching my first fish
One on Valentine's Day
With the mariachi band at our favorite place

Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
The camera doesn't show the way it hurt
No, that ain't the way I remember it happenin'
In between the flashes it was sad, it was tragic
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures

There's one on my phone that I can't erase (One on my phone)
But you'd never know by the smile on my face
That inside I was dying, later that night I'd be crying
The last one before "Goodbye"

Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures
The camera doesn't show the way it hurt
No, that ain't the way I remember it happening
In between the flashes it was sad, it was tragic
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures

No photo evidence, not a single proof
Of all the hell that we went through

But damn, we sure looked happy in pictures
The camera doesn't show the way it hurt
No, that ain't the way I remember it happening
In between the flashes it was sad, it was tragic
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures

(So happy)
(So happy in pictures), oh, yes we did
Yeah, we sure looked happy in pictures (So happy)
(So happy in pictures)


Hillary Scott explained to ABC Radio about 'Pictures', "We live in a world right now, especially with social media, where everyone's lives can look happy and pretty. We wrote this song to reflect on the reality that things are more complex than that."
