Pictures Of The Past Lyrics - Singles - Warren Barfield

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? 

'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 keys 

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 

'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 

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 revenge fueled by these mental images 

But today I'm throwing all my pictures away 

Yeah, yeah 

'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 

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
