I burned your picture today

I burned your picture today
hoping that the memories won't stay
that they'll burn and disappear
with the picture turning black and unclear
and like the picture you'll be erased from time
I'll forget about the time when you were mine
as it goes up in flames and slowly crumbles away
I think about how it would be if I still had you today
I burned your picture today
hating how you use to look at me that way
how I felt at home in your arms
with you I felt no harm
as I see your smile fading
I sit here waiting
for the feelings I have for you to burn away
and like the picture having nothing left to stay
I hate to admit that I still love you
and want to be back with the old you
I knew the guy starring back at me
but that's the guy you use to be
I burned your picture today
wanting everything to go away
forgetting the way you made me feel
how everything felt so surreal
forgetting all the times we had
and the stupid times we got mad
wanting to not be where I am today
I guess life works in a crazy way
we don't talk anymore
it's like we're in a war
like you don't care about me
or even the way things use to be
I just want to drop everything off the face of the earth
go back in time and prevent all this hurt
best friends, lovers, gone so fast
if only the pain wouldn't be the part to last
so I burned your picture today
but all my feelings for you seemed to stay...
