lyrics

You tell people that you hate yourself just for having been with me
Well that's the way you remember it now
but it's not the way you wrote it in the diaries that

you left with me
just so you could rewrite
history
the way you wanted to
remember it
free from all regrets
seem by others as the victim

well nostalgia comes in all shapes and sizes yes I know
and your picture of me fits nicely into ugly frames
so that's how I'm gonna remain

You wrote a letter that you never sent
to your parents explaining just what a good kid I was
About how I gave you confidence and made you feel better than anyone had ever done

before
but now you ignore
the positivi-ty that I brought into your
life
and only the strife
remains in your sight
when did you get so callous

well nostalgia comes in all shapes and sizes yes I know
and your picture of me fits nicely into ugly frames
so that's how I'm gonna remain
