A Picture of Me (Without You) - George Jones

High school graduation, last family vacation Trip to Michigan last year My yearbook from seventh grade I tore out every page with me And threw it all away I know there were more good times than bad But it's easy to forget when I start looking back So I, know you wanna keep This memory, can you keep it in the back of your head? 'Cause when I'll, see it in a week I'll wish I was dead, I'll wish I took the picture of you instead Future holidays, the beach next summer break I don't need proof that I was there My big brother's wedding Hope I'm not regretting the dress That I decide to wear So I, know you wanna keep This memory, can you keep it in the back of your head? 'Cause when I'll, see it in a week I'll wish I was dead, I'll wish I took the picture of you instead Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'll wish I took the picture of you instead Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I know there were more good times than bad But they keep on getting ruined by these photographs So I, know you wanna keep This memory, can you keep it in the back of your head? 'Cause when I'll, see it in a week I'll wish I was dead, I'll wish I took the picture of you instead Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I'll wish I took the picture of you instead Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

There's no me without you There's no meaning to life without you Tell me why should I care 'bout doing my hair When I can't stop the thinking about you There's no moon without you There's no Saturday nights without you There's no walk through the park No beat in my heart No I love you, no I can't live without you You told me everything would be cool Said I wouldn't always feel blue How come I feel like a wreck How come the skies are all gray How come my eyes are all red Why am I alone in bed You told me everything would be fine Why am I losing my mind How come I feel like a fool Why do I keep losing you Why do I love in despair When you're not there There's no me without you There's no meaning to life without you Tell me why should I care 'bout doing my hair When I can't stop the thinking about you There's no moon without you There's no Saturday nights without you There's no walk through the park No beat in my heart No I love you, no I can't live without you So blue for you So deep in love with you So hard to say bye-bye When you know how hard I've tried I, I, I tried baby No no no no You told me everything would be fine Why am I losing my mind How come I feel like a fool Why do I keep losing you Why do I love in despair When you're not there There's no me without you There's no meaning to life without you Tell me why should I care 'bout doing my hair When I can't stop the thinking about you There's no moon without you There's no Saturday nights without you There's no walk through the park No beat in my heart No I love you, no I can't live without you

Wasn't lookin' for answers or someone to hold I thought I found peace and that was enough Livin' in the moment for a time When nothing could be broken Oh, 'cause I had nothin' to lose And no one to love But now my heart is stolen Never felt like I was alone Said I'm better on my own You can't miss what you don't know, oh And missing pieces are harder to find Now I'm yours and you're all mine And now I'm empty Without you with me What's the point of a memory if it's not with you? Can't afford the price I'd pay of losin' you Every little moment is a part Of something unspoken from the start 'Cause it's always been you That I've been waitin' for But now my heart is stolen Never felt like I was alone Said I'm better on my own You can't miss what you don't know, oh, yeah And missing pieces are harder to find Now I'm yours and you're all mine And now I'm empty Without you with me Hope that you know The only face I see is you I know it's enough Just to be a part of you I know this is love Never felt like I was alone Said I'm better on my own You can't miss what you don't know, oh And missing pieces are harder to find Now I'm yours and you're all mine And now I'm empty Without you with me

Found you when your heart was broke I filled your cup until it overflowed Took it so far to keep you close I was afraid to leave you on your own I said I'd catch you if you fall And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all And then I got you off your knees Put you right back on your feet Just so you can take advantage of me Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there Feeling so high, but too far away to hold me You know I'm the one who put you up there Name in the sky, does it ever get lonely? Thinking you could live without me Live without me Baby, I'm the one who put you up there I don't know why Gave love 'bout a hundred tries Just running from the demons in your mind Then I took yours and made 'em mine I didn't notice 'cause my love was blind I said I'd catch you if you fall And if they laugh, then fuck 'em all And then I got you off your knees Put you right back on your feet Just so you can take advantage of me Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there Feeling so high but too far away to hold me You know I'm the one who put you up there Name in the sky, does it ever get lonely? Thinking you could live without me Live without me Baby, I'm the one who put you up there I don't know why

Heard y'all been trying on wedding gowns I heard y'all bought a house I almost had you walking down the aisle But it almost doesn't count Nothing's bruised but my ego Nothing's hurt but my pride And though it hurts Baby, I'm happy for you Happy for you Even if it means I gotta let you be happy Happy without me Happy without me Remember how we used to lay around Talked about what we'd name our child I heard you're ready for a family now I'm not the one you've settled down with Nothing's bruised but my ego Nothing's hurt but my pride And though it really hurts Baby, I'm happy for you Happy for you Even if it means I gotta let you be happy Happy without me I guess I should've counted up the cost But I paid to be the boss And I was wrong I should've let you be the man Be your lady, hold your hand Always be there, through it all I stalk to see just what you're up to now I hope that I see you around Though it hurts Baby, I'm happy for you Happy for you Even if it means I gotta let you be happy Happy without me Even though it hurts Know that I'm happy for you Happy for you, even if it means I gotta let you be Happy, happy without me Happy without me Happy without me

Everything I want, I have Money, notoriety and rivieras I even think I found God In the flashbulbs of the pretty cameras Pretty cameras, pretty cameras Am I glamorous, tell me, am I glamorous? Hello-hello, can-can you hear me? I can be your China doll, if you wanna see me fall Boy, you're so dope, your love is deadly Tell me life is beautiful, they all think I have it all I've nothing without you All my dreams and all the lights mean Nothing without you Summertime is nice and hot And my life is sweet like vanilla is Gold and silver lined my heart But burned into my brain are these stolen images Stolen images, baby, stolen images Can you picture it, babe, that life we could've lived? Hello-hello, can-can you hear me? I can be your China doll, if you like to see me fall Boy, you're so dope, your love is deadly Tell me life is beautiful, they all think I have it all I've nothing without you All my dreams and all the lights mean Nothing without you We were two kids, just tryin' to get out Lived on the dark side of the American dream We would dance all night, play our music loud When we grew up, nothing was what it seemed Hello-hello, can-can you hear me? I can be your China doll, if you like to see me fall Boy, you're so dope, your love is deadly Tell me life is beautiful, they think that I have it all I've nothing without you All my dreams and all the lights mean Nothing without you Hello-hello, can-can you hear me?

Stand in the front but shut up 'til I tell you to go Don't get caught up in pretend 'cause you're not in control 'Cause this is my world, little girl, you'd be lost on your own Just hating and waiting and saving up I'll do you a favor and save you if you sign on the line Don't worry your pretty little head about the future, it's all fine Whether you're wrong or you're right Doesn't matter, you're not up to the fight Keeping my head down 'Cause they don't know what I know now As empires fall to pieces Our ashes twisting in the air It makes me smile to know that I'm better without you Now look around and remember your friends if you can Feeding the flames 'til there's no one to blame, it's on your hands Lost in your lies, pay the price with our lives, you've gone mad And there's no way out 'Cause we all know you're hollow As empires fall to pieces Our ashes twisting in the air It makes me smile to know that I'm better without you Not enough, not enough Not enough to throw it all away We'd still be falling We're fallen Turn it up, turn it up Never gonna shut me up again Your time is over It's over now As empires fall to pieces Our ashes twisting in the air It makes me smile to know that I'm, I'm better without you

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
