if you wanted a song written about you all you had to do was ask

Mayday Parade

I m throwing away pictures
that i never should have taken in the first place
and it s cold in my apartment
as i m changing all the colors
from the brightest reds to grays

well it s 3 o clock on monday morning
i m just hoping you re not seeing his face
i ve been getting calls in these hotel rooms
long enough to know that it was him
that took my place

and i hope this makes you happy now
that the flame we had is burning out
and i hope you like your pictures facing down
as even broken hearts may have their doubts

and i m burning all the letters
hoping that i might forget her and her bad taste
that she left when she was leaving me
a life of barely breathing as she walked
out of this place

and you dropped the note and we changed key
you changed yourself and i changed me
i really didn t see us singing through this
then you screamed the bridge
and i cried the verse
and our chorus came out unrehearsed
and you smiled the whole way through it
i guess maybe that s what s worse

and i hope this makes you happy now
that the flame we had is burning out
and i hope you like your pictures facing down
as even broken hearts may have their doubts

and i m taking all your memories off the shelf
and i don t need you or anybody else
so take a look at me
see what you want to see
when you get home

take me home
i d rather die than be with you
take me home
you have a problem with the truth
take me home
because this happens every time
i knew it would...
i knew it would...

take me home
i d rather die than be with you
take me home
you have a problem with the truth
take me home
because this happens every time
and i knew it would...
i knew it would...

and i hope this makes you happy now
that the flame we had is burning out
and i hope you like your pictures facing down
as even broken hearts may have their doubts

and i m taking all your memories off the shelf
and i don t need you or anybody else
so take a look at me
see what you want to see
when you get home
