*Artist: TAylor Swift
*Title: Picture to Burn
*Released: January 29,2009
"Picture to Burn" is the title of a single co-written and recorded by American country pop artist Taylor Swift. Released in January 29, 2008 as the fourth single from Swift's self-titled debut album, it is also that album's fourth consecutive Top Ten hit, having reached a peak of #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.
The song is part of the tracklist for Now That's What I Call Country.
The lyrics describe Taylor's dissatisfaction with her ex-boyfriend (whom she describes as "just another picture to burn"), and her plans to seek revenge on him. The official single release contains the radio edit which replaces the line "That's fine, I'll tell mine that you're gay" with "That's fine, you won't mind if I say". This version was used on the March 2008 re-release. Similar to Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" music video.
State the obvious, I didn't get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy
That's fine I'll tell mine you're gay
And by the way...
[Chorus:]
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I'm concerned you're
Just another picture to burn
There's no time for tears,
I'm just sitting here planning my revenge
There's nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy's gonna show you how sorry you'll be
[Repeat Chorus]
If you're missing me,
You'd better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health...
I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak
Who's really bad at lying
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven't heard,
I really really hate that..
[Repeat Chorus]
Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn
You're just another picture to burn
Baby, burn...
