Burning Pictures Songtext
von Justin Townes Earle

How many times have you fallen in love
Has your heart ever truly been full or just full enough
Aren′t you tired of telling yourself one day I'll forget her
Aren′t you tired of starting fires and burning pictures


Now the last one that left you swore you'd never forget
Said no matter where she goes in life she'll always be the first in a long line of regrets
But I doubt right now you even recall her name
That′s another girls picture burning in that pile of busted picture frames
And everyone who walks out takes a bit more of you with her
You′re still starting fires and burning pictures

I know when it comes down to it ain't a damn fool one of us know what we′re doing
We've only to hold on and hope
Hope only hurts if you don′t believe
Sometimes we need to know the difference between what we want and what we need
Summer comes you'll have a new love but mark my words come winter
You′ll be starting fires and burning pictures
You'll be starting fires and burning pictures
