Photographs

I really didn't mean to hurt you It's just we're such a mess I've cleaned up too many child boys In my worn out checkered past I can't be bothered with the aftertaste I won't go wasting all my time I'm too busy looking out for yours Nobody's loooking out for mine So I'll be the one who let you down I'll be the one who never cared I'll be the woman from your past In the photograph that you ripped in half I'll be the one you could never count on Cause a warm gun is easier sung than done You're gonna be popular with other girls Once you tell 'em about me They're gonna line up at your broken door With offerings of sympathy And that platonic embrace you're in They'll only wind up on the floor Cause you're needy and dependant and demanding It's gonna cost her so much more Then she'll be the one who let you down She'll be the one who never cared She'll be the woman from your past In the photograph that you ripped in half She'll be the one you could never count on Cause a warm gun is easier sung than done Now as history repeats itself Someone is bound to get me back And I suppose only then will I know What it meant to leave you like that That is you're all upstanding now You're stable and over me Ain't it funny how the tables turn But what a time to finally see I was the one who set you free I was the one who pushed you forward And I'm the woman from your past In a photograph that you've since restored I'll be the reason you're good to someone But thanking me is easier said than done
