Didn't think he'd split so soon Thought time was on our side But cynical turned bitchy Clever turned to snide I won't miss his sullen poses I won'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 His features were so striking Long lashes dark brow 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
