I'll stack these magazines in the corner

After I'm done with them

And I still got the same hope that I started with

That you'll be in one of them

My camera shed some tears since you left him

With nothing, with nothing



[Bridge:]

How am I supposed to remember?

I got the memories

But memories fade, baby

What am I gonna show to my kids, girl?

When I'm older, and my mind is telling me to forget you

What's gonna make me remember?



[Chorus:]

That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures

Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing

Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures

When you knew they were all that I had left - nothing left

They were part of our history, this story

I was always taking pictures

Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad

Miss you so bad, miss you so



We didn't make love

We celebrated it's invention

Confetti on the mattress – I used to have those images

Tonight I came home they were just members in the fire

Along with my heart dry, no, no, slow goodbye



[Bridge:]

How the hell am I supposed to remember?

Tell me now, I got the memories

But memories don't last...

What am I gonna show to my kids, baby?

When I'm older, and my mind's telling me to forget you

What's gonna make me remember?



[Chorus:]

That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures

Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing

Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures

When you knew they were all that I had left – nothing left

They were part of our history, this story

I was always taking pictures

Cause I didn't wanna miss you



The videos are rolling behind you

The record of the love we had

My Nikon wasn't fast enough

To catch my heart break in half

No smiles on my picture frame, no

Just got them little basic ones that the pictures frames come with

Models where them pictures, you know



[Chorus:]

That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures

Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing

Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures?

When you knew they were all that I had left – nothing left

They were part of our history, this story

I was always taking pictures

Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad

Miss you so bad, miss you so...
