Burning Photographs Lyrics - Ryan Adams

I finally see the light 

Down on the east side 

Wasted like a memory 

If I had a car I'd drive 

Straight off the bridge into the river, it would empty me 

Pretty pictures in a magazine 

Everybody is so make believe, it's true 

I used to be sad 

Now I'm just bored with you 

You're doomed to repeat the past 

'Cause nothing is gonna last 

I burned all of your photographs

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Traffic sings the songs 

Inviting me in to dodge the bullets from an empty gun 

If I had a car I'd drive straight into the window of a bank I owed money to 

Pretty pictures in a magazine 

Everybody is so make believe, it's true 

I used to be sad 

Now I'm just bored with you 

You're doomed to repeat the past 

'Cause nothing is gonna last 

I burned all of your photographs 

And all the time you're so unhappy 

And everything to you's so heavy 

But oh my word, ain't you pretty now 

There's nothing to make up now 

No one to wake up now 

She's starting to break up 

Photos 

Pretty pictures in a magazine 

Everybody is so make believe, it's true 

I used to be sad 

Now I'm just bored with you 

You're doomed to repeat the past 

'Cause nothing is gonna last 

I burned all of your photographs
