Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Apr. 21, 2015]

If my breathing seems too weak
I'll be generous with sleep
If my eyes keep falling shut
It doesn't mean I've had enough
Inconsistent though I am
I won't be stopped with my great plan
Both you and me have starring roles

And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
I can't, I can't

A slave to everything I am
Swallowed up by my demands
I have reason to be sad
I never realize what I have
Changing circles move around
I can't concentrate my sound
I'll give it to you if I can

And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
I can't, I can't, I can't cry

Oh I won't stop, and I won't fall
And I won't change myself at all
Do it, buy yourself your dreams

And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
I can't, I can't

And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
I can't, I can't

And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
And in the picture I can't cry
I can't, I can't, I can't cry
