Today is the coldest day in summertime
I can't believe you're leaving, you really leaving me
I know you're tired of all my cheatin' and honestly
I know I don't deserve you
I hate to see you cry and packin' your luggage up
I know it's the end of the road but I gotta face it for sure
No more his and hers, no more dinner served
Just the pictures on the wall of you and me
You can burn the clothes that you bought me
Break up everything in the kitchen
But girl don't take the pictures
You already know that I'm gonna miss ya
You packed the ring that I bought you
Return all the cd's we made love to
But not the pictures, girl don't take the pictures
You know well I'm gonna miss ya
Baby take the keys you ain't gotta call no ride
I'm gonna be a man and throw away my pride
See you standing at the doorway, hoping I would say
Something to make you stay
But girl it's best you leave
If there's no way that we could get back to the way we were in the beginning
At this point it won't work, I can't erase the hurt
You can take anything, but girl don't take the pictures
You can burn the clothes that you bought me
Break up everything in the kitchen
But girl don't take the pictures
You already know that I'm gonna miss ya,
I know I deserve everything you do
You packed the ring that I bought you
Return all the cd's we made love to
But not the pictures, girl don't take the pictures
Don't you do this to me
You know well I'm gonna miss ya
Now I'm thinking bout where we first met
We used to catch... on the sunset
We even talked about a baby
Even talked about marriage maybe, maybe
Remember all the late night movies,
Remember how you used to do me
Now I don't know... and now all I have is this photograph
You can burn the clothes that you bought me
Break up everything in the kitchen
You're the best I had, and now you're gone
But girl don't take the pictures
You already know that I'm gonna miss ya,
I know I deserve everything you do
You packed the ring that I bought you
Return all the cd's we made love to
I will be so lonely without you
But not the pictures, girl don't take the pictures,
But please leave the pictures baby
Don't you do this to me
You know well I'm gonna miss ya, baby.
