Wish I’d Taken Pictures lyrics

Didn't think he'd split so soon
Thought time was on our side
But cynical turned b*tchy
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 alabast*rd
Broke it off with him
His features were so striking
Long lashes, dark brown 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
