This is a re-recording of an older song. The one I had posted in the past did not capture the emotion I wanted. When a picture has been on the wall for a long time the paint around it will fade. When you remove the picture you will still see the ouline of where the picture was on the wall. If that picture was you and someone you loved and now the picture is gone all you will have left is an outline of what you had.
OUTLINE (Acoustic Version)
(C) 2011 Anthony Lynn Powers
Verse 1
She said we were a picture
of what love should be
the day we said forever
beneath that old tree
but time goes on and people change
even pictures start to fade
for her and I forever
ended yesterday
Chorus 1
There's an outline on my wall
where that picture use to be
now it's just a memory
of what she meant to me
I know what they say to do
I've need to paint the place
forget about you
find a new picture for my wall
maybe tomorrow, you see today
i'm still hoping that she calls
verse 2
I tried to find a picture
To fill up that space
but always in the background
I'd still see her face
but life goes on and I have changed
it will never be the same
I know that I'm the reason
there's no one else to blame
chorus 2
For that outline on the wall
where that picture use to be
now it's just a memory
of what she meant to me
I know what they say to
I need to paint the place
forget about you
and find a new picture for my wall
maybe tomorrow, you see today
I'm still hoping that she calls
bridge
I miss the details and the colors
she brought into my life
I miss being part of that picture
that she took with her that night
chorus 3
Leaving that outline on the wall
where that picture use to be
now it's just a memory
of what she meant to me
I know what I have to do
i've got to paint the place
forget about you
and find a new picture for my wall
I'll do it today, I finally know
she's never gonna call
end
