Lyric Wish I d taken pictures

Didn t think he d splip so soon
Thought time was on our side
But cynical turned bitchy
Clever turned to snide
Iwon t miss his sullen poses
Iwon 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 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
