Life Imitates Art Lyrics

Well you've heard it said before life imitates art

Just like brush strokes on a canvas seem to break your heart

The same is true for all the gut wrenching moments

Or when a really good thing comes to an end

Well it comes and goes in waves it's just so hard to know

If it's really gone away or if the tide's just low

I told myself that when I moved on I'd always remember

But now it's starting to get hard to hear your voice in pictures

What if we never really move on

We just increase the distance

What if it sticks around in shadows

We feel it all the time but never face it

It still makes me feel so guilty just to laugh these days

Like a momentary smile will make you fade away

In times like these I just try to imagine what you'd say

I know you never wanted me to have to feel that way

What if we never really move on

We just increase the distance

What if it sticks around in shadows

We feel it all the time but never face it

And I'll never understand why people leave so soon

It's something I can't reprimand the grief I feel for you

Remind myself how much it stings just so I don't forget

All of the stupid little things from when I was a kid

So tell me does time really heal all of this

Or does it just help you forget

And I'd like to think you would be proud

If you were here to see me now
