Hồ Duy Groove - Family Portrait Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama's wearing her Sunday best
Daddy's got that tie I hate
Little sister's hair all pressed
Standing straight by that garden gate
But something's missing in our eyes
Behind those smiles we're telling lies

[Chorus]
Family portrait on the wall
Ain't worth the frame it's hanging in
Got secrets buried six feet tall
Lord knows the weight of all our sins
Yeah, this picture perfect scene
Ain't nothing like it seems

[Verse 2]
Found another photograph
Different house across the town
Different woman, different laugh
Different kids all sitting down
Same damn smile upon his face
Same gold watch, same old disgrace

[Bridge]
Three steps to the left
Hold your head up high
Straighten out that dress
Paint on that disguise
Click, flash, freeze the lie

[Verse 3]
Every Sunday after church
He'd disappear without a trace
Now I know just where he'd search
For amazing grace
Two families, one man's pride
Living out this double life

[Chorus]
Family portrait on the wall
Ain't worth the frame it's hanging in
Got secrets buried six feet tall
Lord knows the weight of all our sins
Yeah, this picture perfect scene
Ain't nothing like it seems

[Verse 4]
Mama knew but never said
Just kept ironing his shirts
Swallowed down the words unsaid
Swallowed down the hurt
Now these yellowed photographs
Tell the truth at last

[Outro]
Take that portrait off the wall
Let it shatter, let it fall
'Cause a picture might not lie
But it sure as hell don't tell it all
No, it sure as hell don't tell it all
