Pictures of Us Sad

couples only photograph the good times
as if joy was all they had
but that won't help them when they break up
let's take some pictures of us sad

I have pictures of you kissing me
in matching costumes on Halloween
the birthday party I threw for you
you and me and a scenic view
our shadows in a heart of snow
the trip we took to Chicago
all of our friends ice skating
the pics we took that were just for me

it's killing me to look through albums
of all the better times we had
it's only making me feel worse
let's take some pictures of us sad

dressed up for a holiday
self shots taken from an arm away
in the bar where we first met
up on stage singing a duet
dressed as June and Johnny Cash
in silly hats or alien masks
sets of three from photo booths
these photos prove you once loved me too

if we were smart we would plan ahead
and get the camera when things were bad
because I think it might help me now
if I had some pictures of us sad

I wish I had a photo of
you telling me you fell out of love
I wish a pic could convince myself
I could be happy with someone else
but all I have is photographic proof
I was only happy when I had you
