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
