Picture To Burn

"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[1] 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.

[Verse 1] 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, you won't mind if I say 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 lyin' So, watch me strike a match on all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn [Verse 2] There's no time for tears, I'm just sittin' here planning my revenge There's nothing stoppin' me from goin' out with all of your best friends And if you come around sayin' sorry to me My daddy's gonna show ya how sorry you'll be [Chorus] 'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lyin' So, watch me strike a match on all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn [Bridge] And if you're missing me, you'd better keep it to yourself 'Cause coming back around here would be bad for your health [Chorus] 'Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lyin' So, watch me strike a match on all my wasted time In case you haven't heard I really, really hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lyin' So, watch me strike a match on all my wasted time As far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn [Outro] Burn, burn, burn, baby, burn You're just another picture to burn Baby, burn
