Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I bought this camera to take pictures of my love
Now that he's gone, I don't have anybody to take pictures of
A lonesome highway is a pretty good subject
I'm gonna make myself make use of this thing
[Verse 2]
I'm takin' landscapes
I'm takin' still-lifes
I'm takin' bad self portraits
Of a lonely woman
[Verse 3]
I've spent my life so lost on lovin'
I could have been a painter or a president
But after twenty-five years, I should be good at somethin'
Gone are the days of me bein' so innocent
[Verse 4]
I'm takin' night classes
I'm makin' sculptures
I'm takin' bad self portraits
Of a lonely woman, oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
I bought this camera to take pictures of my love
Now that he's gone, I don't know what to do with this thing
I don't care about the time or money
I just never thought that I'd be through with this love
[Verse 6]
Stuck takin' landscapes
Stuck takin' still-lifes
Stuck makin' sculptures
I'm out here takin' bad self portraits
Of a lonely woman
Bad self portraits of a lonely girl
Sad self portraits of a lonely woman
