Broken Tracy Chapman

[Verse 1]
You can close your eyes
And see a picture perfect life
Inside your mind
Dreaming only of the days ahead
Wanted and wished for more than now
Or the days behind
You waste your time

[Chorus]
The picture makes a promise
The flash lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flash lets it be broken

[Verse 2]
You can never think
You can't even stop yourself
Before the words have been spoken
And you've already said
You would give everything
And something for nothing
Everybody thinks you're joking

[Chorus]
The picture makes a promise
The flash lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flash lets it be broken
