The Picture I View Lyrics

I haven't changed but my life has
People are strange when it's like us
I did something wrong to them
And I don't even know your name
No, I don't even know your name

I swear that he's good for me
And I swear he looks after me
And I swear he looks out for me
And I swear that he's good, good, good

La, la, la, the picture I view
La, la, la, the picture I view

All my plans and promises
Went tumbling down the hill
All my friends and promises
Went tumbling down the hill
They went tumbling down the hill

I haven't changed but my life has
People are strange when it's like us
I did something wrong to them
And I don't even know your name
No, I don't even know your name
Don't even know your name

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
