Burning Pictures

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 girl's 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
