Pictures Of The Past

Warren Barfield

I think it's time

That I forgive you

Oh, I've kept this inside

Long enough

Remember the 5th grade

And all the jokes you made

At my expense

Oh I wanted to trip you in the hall

And watch your books fall ever since

And I can't remember your last name

But your first was Stephen

If you ever hear this song

Do you think we could call it even?



Chorus:

Cause Love doesn't keep a record of wrongs

It lets go, it moves on

Oh cause time goes by so fast

To keep painting pictures of the past



I've got one of those brains

That can't remember where I set my keys

Oh but I could recite every hurtful word ever spoken to me

I say I forgive and I try to forget

But it's like getting caught in a rainstorm

And trying not to get wet

Oh and I've weathered my share of wrongs

By God's grace I am slowly drying off

Yeah yeah yeah



Bridge:

And I've carefully compiled

A list of names and faces

And I canpoint out the scars that each one gave me, yeah

And I've plotted my revenge fueled by these mental images

But today I'm throwing all my pictures away

Yeah yeah



Chorus:

Love doesn't keep a record of wrongs

It lets go, it moves on

Oh cause time goes by way too fast

To keep painting pictures of the past

Stop painting pictures of the past

Stop painting pictures

Stop painting pictures…of the past

Yeah, yeah
