    LYRICS:
    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

    My favorite part:
    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 that maybe that’s what’s worse

He wasn't able to admire me the same way i admired him. I feel so silly, so out of place. Why he said “ I love you” at first and then why he suddenly act like a dickhead and broke my heart?? This is nonsense bullshit. I cant believe how easily removed me from his life like i meant nothing. My mistake? I thought he was different, a very sweet guy, he promised me never hurt me. Sadly i wasn't part of his priorities. Now I realize that all men are liars and can’t keep their promises. If you're reading this, please grow up! ill hope you're happy now.

    All I ever did was be there for her and I got treated like complete shit for it. I was apparently her best friend but at any minor disagreement or inconsequential mistake I was a bitch. I'd never even dream of calling her that, but she sure had no problem telling me how much she hated me constantly. I don't care if it's a "joke", it's not funny.

    Yo guys u know who sings the part that says "and you screamed the bridge
    And I cried the verse
    And our came out unrehearsed"? I've just seen the live they did a month ago and the drummer/2nd voice sounds so bad, i'm not sure if they changed the guy or dude just can't sing live.
