Pictures Of The Past Lyrics

Pictures Of The Past lyrics

I think it's time 

That I forgive you

Oh, I've kept this inside

Long enough

Remember the 5th grade

And all the jokes you made

At my expense

Oh I've wanted to trip you in the hall

And watch your books fall ever since

And I can't remember your last name

But your first was Steven

If you ever hear this song

Do you think we could call it even?



CHORUS:

Cause love doesn't keep a record of wrongs

It lets go, it moves on

Oh cause time goes by too fast

To keep painting pictures of the past



I've got one of those brains

That can't remember where I set my keyes

Oh, but I could recite every hurtful word ever spoken to me

I say I forgive and I try to forget



But it's like getting caught in a rainstorm 

And tryin' not to get wet

Oh, and I've weathered my share of wrongs 

By God's grace I am slowly dryin' off

Yeah, yeah, yeah



BRIDGE:

And I've carefully compiled

A list of names and faces

And I can point out the scars that each one gave me, yeah

And I've plotted my revence fueled by these mental images

But today I'm thowing all my pictures away

Yeah, yeah



CHORUS: 

Cause love doesn't keep a record of wrongs

It lets go, it moves on

Oh, cause time goes by way too fast 

To keep painting pictures of the past

Stop painting pictures of the past

Stop painting pictures

Stop painting pictures... of the past

Yeah, yeah
