You Were Something Else

I know I'm not the only one who's still got the pictures
All yellowed-out and faded and painful and hidden away
I don’t need to look to know that I still love you
But I’m man enough now, I’ll admit it ain’t easy today

And all I remember is the way…

I never should’ve tried to ever make you love me
You left me as dull and used as a thrift store knife
And I’m older now, but not worn out and I’m the wiser
For missing the dead-end sign you had in your eyes

And all I remember is the way…

That we caught fire like thinner rags in June
You never wanted me like I wanted you
And I’d hear you trashing on me outside
And we needed more fixing than your car in our drive
And there ain't no pills to take away this pain
And what you took with you can't be replaced
Baby, you were something else

And I know I should toss them
But they’re all I’ve got left of those days

And I might as well keep them
Because the damage is already done
