I Turned Your Picture to the Wall
Norah Jones Lyrics

I turned your picture to the wall
I've hidden away your image from sight because I no longer want to be reminded of you.

I don't wanna see you anymore
I cannot bear to look at you again or be close to you like before for it pains me greatly.

You once were nice to me
I remember that you used to be kind and pleasant, treat me well and make me feel special in my own way.

Sugar and spice to me
Your behavior was like that of a sweet, loving partner whom I could trust and rely on with all my heart and soul.

Now you're as salty as you can be
But now you are bitter, angry, resentful, and spiteful, leaving a bad taste in my mouth and making me want to get as far away from you as I can.

We had some good times, I recall
I recollect the happy moments we spent together and how much I enjoyed them; they were the best of my life at one time.

We don't ever have them anymore
However, we no longer have those good times as you have made everything worse by your current behavior and attitude towards me.

Now you just lie to me
You have chosen to speak falsehoods to me and no longer value the truth or my relationship with you.

Then say goodbye to me
And right after that, you have the audacity to say goodbye to me as if everything is alright between us.

I can't believe this is happening to me
I am in disbelief that this is really happening to me, that you have become someone so unlike the person I fell in love with and it's crushing me from the inside.

When I call you on the phone
When I try to reach out to you via the phone

You are never there
more often than not you are not available, leading me to question your commitment and your feelings towards me.

And I sit home all alone
Which leaves me stranded in my emotions like an island, unable to connect with you or find comfort in my own being.

You don't even care
Your actions give little indication that you are invested in our relationship or that you see me as anything other than an inconvenient presence in your life.

So I'll just turn your picture to the wall
So I'll just hide away your image and forget you even existed and focus on moving on with my life.

I ain't gonna see you anymore
I refuse to acknowledge your existence or to let you have any impact on my life; I can't let you be my undoing anymore.

It's all a memory
Our memories are all I have of you, and they are full of pain and heartbreak right now.

Now it can never be
We can never have a heartfelt conversation or relationship again, as too much has happened for us to reconcile.

I'll never see you at all
You will be forever out of my life, and my sight; a distant memory that pricks my heart and brings tears to my eyes.

'Cause I will just turn your picture to the wall
Because I cannot bear to see your image again, as it will only remind me of everything that went wrong between us and contribute toward my pain.
