There were pictures that I kept
There were pictures that I threw
There were pictures that I drew of you
And the memories that they brought
Of the efforts come to naught
Bring a somewhat painful thought of you, of you, of you
There were letters that I wrote
There were letters that I quote
Reckless letters that you wrote 'bout me
There were letters that were long
Livid, dirty, long
Livid, dirty, wrong
'Bout you, bout you, bout you
Read without a book
I glance but I don't look
That is how I am
Never wanted to be blue
Only wanted to be true
I don't know what to do
There were pictures that were not
Among the pictures that I thought
Were the angles that you caught of me
There were letters that I kept
Wrote them nights when I had wept
Now I know that it was kind of crazy
I'd like to let you know why lovers come to show
I see you come and watch you go
And you wait, wait for me
No no no no no no no no no no no no no
There were lovers that you swayed
With the offers that you made
You betrayed and then you gave up on
So you came and then you went
You must obviously resent me
La la la la la la
There were pictures that I kept
There were pictures that I threw
There were pictures that I drew of you
And the memories that they brought
Of the efforts come to naught
Still sting inside
I can read the lines, I can see the light
There were pictures that I kept
There were pictures that I threw
Bitter memories that I had of you
And I waited till you came
But it's no longer the same
And the pictures that remain are mine.
And I remain
And I remain
