Photobooths and Dishonesty

Jul 19, 2004 16:48

Well, I was listening to the latest recording of one of my songs, and decided that the lyrics weren't how I wanted them to be. So I re-wrote them.

I know that pulling flower petals
Is a childish thing to do
But this final tiny leaf
Shows my suspicions tested true

You never cared about me
The way I cared for you
So that final flower petal
Told lies to me too

It showed how much you cared for me
But masked the painful truth
The truth was soon revealed to me
Inside the photobooth

You whispered that you still loved me
As much as you did before
But I could see the dishonesty
Beyond that linen door

I gazed into your bright blue eyes
And felt my knees grow weak
I told you that I loved you too
That my heart was at its peak

Everything I said I meant
I spoke the honest truth
But only lies were revealed to me
Inside that photobooth

I know now what you said was wrong
Your words didn't mean a thing
Yet despite all of my love
I'd like to die with a bang

I hate those stupid photographs
We took that lonely night
So I take these stupid pictures
And proudly start a light

I hate to see your burn like this
But I know it has to be done
And as another person reads this
I'm not the only one

There are other people out there
You've hurt, like me, before
But I will not allow my heart
To hurt for you some more

So with these flaming photographs
I bury my love, the truth
And forget all of the things you said
Inside the photobooth
