If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask

If You Wanted A Song Written About You, All You Had To Do Was Ask

Mayday Parade
(album: A Lesson In Romantics)

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
