I'm throwing away pictures,
That I never should have taken in the first place
And it's cold in my apartment,
As I'm changing all the colors
From the brightest reds to grays
Well it's 3 o'clock on Monday morning
I'm just hoping you're not seeing his face
I've been getting calls in these hotel rooms,
Long enough to know that it was him
That took my place
And I hope this makes you happy now,
That the flame we had is burning out
And I hope you like your pictures facing down
As even broken hearts may have their doubts
And I'm burning all the letters,
Hoping that I might forget her and her bad taste
That she left, when she was leaving me
Alive but barely breathing as she walked
Out of this place
And you dropped the note and we changed key
You changed yourself and I changed me
I really didn't see us singing through this
Then you screamed the bridge,
And I cried the verse
And our chorus came out unrehearsed
And you smiled the whole way through it,
I guess maybe that's what's worse
And I hope this makes you happy now,
That the flame we had is burning out
And I hope you like your pictures facing down
As even broken hearts may have their doubts
And I'm taking all your memories off the shelf
And I don't need you or anybody else
So take a look at me,
See what you want to see
When you get home
Take me home,
I'd rather die than be with you
Take me home,
You have a problem with the truth
Take me home,
Because this happens every time
I knew it would,
I knew it would
Take me home,
I'd rather die than be with you
Take me home,
You have a problem with the truth
Take me home,
Because this happens every time
And I knew it would,
I knew it would
And I hope this makes you happy now,
That the flame we had is burning out
And I hope you like your pictures facing down
As even broken hearts may have their doubts
And I'm taking all your memories off the shelf
And I don't need you or anybody else
So take a look at me,
See what you want to see
When you get home
