Lyrics
"Frame of mind"
Verse I
Walked by your picture today again
Afraid to put it away
Because I'm still hanging on to that last memory
Trapped inside that old silver frame that you gave to me
Maybe tomorrow things will change in my head
And I'll replay for the last time
The last words you said -------Pause
Chorus:
As for today I'm still hanging on
Until the pain is gone
I just need just a little more time
To finally get myself in/ The right frame of mind
Verse II
I stared at your picture today again
And almost put it face down
But I just was ready to forget
What used to be and now is gone
Maybe tomorrow things will change in mind
And I'll think about you and me
For the last time-------- Pause
Chorus:
The right frame of mind- i-i-i-i-I nd
Bridge: Fm G7 A7
And I don't want to say goodbye for good, I just can't throw it all away
Even though I know I should, I just can't throw it all away
All the memories, slowly vanishing
Wished I could just throw them all away
Wished I could just throw them all away
Maybe some day
