Wish I'd Taken Pictures
Didn't think he'd splip so soon
Thought time was on our side
But cynical turned bitchy
Clever turned to snide
Iwon't miss his sullen poses
Iwon't miss his dour veneer
But I wish I'd taken pictures
Cause his beautiful face ain't here
Met up with a new guy
With alabaster skin
Turned out to be an alabastard
Broke it off with him
His features were so striking
Long lashes, dark brown curls
But I wish I'd taken pictures
Cause he's long gone from my world
Met a lovely goth boy
Way into 4AD
Precious, frail and sensitive
Took himself too seriously
Always lighting candles
Made his bed an altar
But I wish i´d taken pictures
Because our thing quickly faltered
Finally bought a camera
After years of delay
Thought memory would be enough
But I found out too late
So let's be realistic
The odds are this won't last
Now I'm taking pictures
So I'll never forget your beautiful ass
