Burning Pictures - Justin Townes Earle

How many times have you fallen in love

Has your heart ever truly been full or just full enough

Aren’t you tired of telling yourself one day I’ll forget her

Aren’t you tired of starting fires and burning pictures

Now the last one that left you swore you’d never forget

Said no matter where she goes in life she’ll always be the first in a long line

of regrets

But I doubt right now you even recall her name

That’s another girls picture burning in that pile of busted picture frames

And everyone who walks out takes a bit more of you with her

You’re still starting fires and burning pictures

I know when it comes down to it ain’t a damn fool one of us know what we’re

doing

We’ve only to hold on and hope

Hope only hurts if you don’t believe

Sometimes we need to know the difference between what we want and what we need

Summer comes you’ll have a new love but mark my words come winter

You’ll be starting fires and burning pictures

You’ll be starting fires and burning pictures
