We're Not Smiling Anymore Lyrics

There’s a picture in our bedroom
Just hangin’ on the wall
Of a mighty, happy couple
Without a care at all
And how are they to know, just what tomorrow holds in store
‘Cause there’s a diamond ring just sittin’
On the dresser by the bed
Beside a stack of divorce papers, here
That I still haven’t read
And the room feels awful empty now
‘Cause we’re not smiling anymore.

(Chorus)
A picture tells a thousand words, it’s plain to see this is the end
Lord, it breaks my heart to know, we’ll never feel this way again
I hear a stillness in the air, mixed with the slamming of the door
I’ll burn the pictures one by one
‘Cause we’re not smiling anymore.

There’s one from our senior prom
What a crazy time we had
And a couple of our wedding
Standin’ with your mom and dad
And this one here of you, on the morning our first child was born
I can’t really tell you now, just where things went wrong
Girl, it kills me just to think of how I’m gonna get along
And I just can’t quite understand
Why we’re not smiling anymore.

(Repeat Chorus)

I’ll burn the pictures one by one
‘Cause we’re not smiling anymore.

There’s a picture in our bedroom
Just hangin’ on the wall
Of a mighty, happy couple
Without a care at all.
