Burning Photographs Lyrics
Down on the east side, wasted like a memory
If I had a car I'd drive
Straight off the bridge into the river, it would empty me
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad now I'm just bored with you
And nothing is gonna last
I burn all your photographs
Inviting me into dodging bullets from an empty gun
If I had a car I'd drive
Straight into the window of a bank I owed money to
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad now I'm just bored with you
And nothing is gonna last
I burn all your photographs
You're doomed to repeat the past
And nothing is gonna last
I burn all your photographs
And everything to you is so heavy
And oh my word ain't you so pretty, now
There's nothing to make up, now
No one to wake up, now
She's starting to break up, wow
Everybody is so make believe, it's true
I used to be sad now I'm just bored with you
Cause nothing is gonna last
I burned all your photographs
You're doomed to repeat the past
Cause nothing is gonna last
I burn all your photographs

I like the lyrics to this song a lot.
I USED TO BE SAD NOW I'M JUST BORED WITH YOU!
hahaha yes, I love the bit about driving through the window of a bank he owes money to. that is so classic. so fed up with someone's shit you're in that cynical frame of mind when you burn photographs and drive recklessly and seethe when you think of the person.
This song seems to be a vent from Ryan Adams! "I used to be sad now I'm just bored with you" - Perhaps this was an old lover who eventually made him sad, then he got bored with the relationship. (which tends to happen often in relationships.)
I love this song. When I ever had bad days, I just listen to this song while I am driving and scream the lyrics as loud as I can....it always makes me feel better.
