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 the bad taste

That she laughed that she was leaving me

Alive but barely breathing

As she walked out of this place


And you dropped a 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

Cause I don't need you or anybody else

So take a look at me

See what you want to see

When you get home


So take me home, I'd rather die than be with you

Take me home, you had a problem with the truth

Take me home, because this happens every time

And I knew it would, I knew it would


Take me home, I'd rather die than be with you

Take me home, you had 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 (whoa)

That the flame we had is burning out (whoa)

And I hope you like your pictures facing down (whoa)

As even broken hearts may have their doubts


And I'm taking all your memories off the shelf (whoa)

'Cause I don't need you with anybody else (whoa)

So take a look at me

See what you want to see

When you get home
