Justin Townes Earle - Burning Pictures lyrics

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
