Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stack these magazines in a corner
After I'm done with them
I still got the same moves that I've started with
That you'd be in one of them
My camera shed some tears that you left in
With nothing, with nothing
[Verse 2]
How I'm I supposed to remember
Whoa-oh, I got the memories
The memories fade, baby
What am I gonna show to my kids, girl?
Whoa, lover
When I'm older and my body's telling me to forget you
What's gonna make me remember
[Verse 3]
That why I was always takin' pictures
Pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing
Miss a thing
[Verse 4]
You told me, I, could you take the pictures
Pictures
When you knew they were all that I had left
Nothing left
They were part of our history
This story
[Verse 5]
I was always takin' pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad
Miss you this bad
Miss you so bad
Miss you so
[Verse 6]
We didn't make love
We celebrated its invention
Confetti on the mattress I used
To have those images
[Verse 7]
Tonight, I came home
They were just embers in the fire
With my hard drive, almost no goodbyes
[Verse 8]
How the hell am I supposed to remember?
Tell me now
The memory fades, the memories fade, baby
What am I gonna show my kids, girl?
Whoa, na-na
When I'm older and my mind is telling me to forget you
What's gonna make me remember?
[Verse 9]
That why I was always takin' pictures
Pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing
Miss a thing
Oh
[Verse 10]
And tell me how could you take the pictures?
Pictures
When you knew they were all that I had left
Nothing left
[Verse 11]
They were part of our history
This story
I was always takin' pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad
[Verse 12]
The video, my Polaroid, yeah
No record of the love we had, yeah
My Nikon wasn't fast enough
To catch my heat break in half
[Verse 13]
No smiles from my picture frames
No, just got them
Little basic ones the picture frames come with
Models, wedding pictures, you know
Whoa-oh
[Verse 14]
That's why I was always taking pictures
Your pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing
Miss a thing
[Verse 15]
And tell me, how could you take the pictures?
Pictures
When you knew they were all that I had left
Nothing left
[Verse 16]
They were part of our history
This story
This story, this story
[Verse 17]
I was always takin' pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad
Miss you this bad
Miss you so bad
Miss you so bad
Miss you so
Yeah-ah-ah
