the late night photgraphs

So I ran across some pictures

It`s amazing what a picture can do

They`re definitely worth a thousand words

A thousand smiles

A thousand tears

We were happy

We were flirtatious

We were a monument

We were paparazzi perfect

We were beautiful

We were unpredictable

There were days when I missed that

Took months to get over you

Wishing you would want me the way

I wanted you

The way I needed you

You just had to be friends with my friends

You had to be likable

You had to be charismatic

You had to be

You had to be unforgettable

There were days I couldn`t get you out my sheets

Your scent lingered

Your touch lingered

Your voice lingered

Your taste lingered

Damn that John Legend song

How could you ruin my favorite song?

You were my anti-drug

I was addicted to you

I`ve been sitting here surrounded by blunt leaves

Trying to kill the brain cells of all the memories of you and me

No matter how “high” I could get

John Legend couldn`t erase your memory

Unfortunately he brought it back

Hit me like an 18 wheeler every time I heard the melody

Instead of beautiful sounds

I heard car wrecks and chainsaws

Broken hearts couldn`t be mended

Even if I knew a welder

Cause unfortunately this wasn`t a clean rip

Possibly something a surgeon could handle

I used to smile at the sound of your name

Then I got tired of it so I rearranged it

Now it doesn`t sound so much like mine

But it`s cool now

Nothing`s the same now

And if you were standing right in front of me

I still wouldn`t know who you are.

All of this came to me from a picture

I tried to make it worth a thousand words

But you`re not worth that many to me anymore
