Bad Self Portraits - Lake Street Dive

I bought this camera

To take pictures of my love

Now that he’s gone

I don’t have anybody to take pictures of Along some highway

Is pretty good subjects

I’m gonna make myself make use of this thing

I’m taking landscapes

I’m taking still lifes

I’m taking bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

I’ve spent my life

So lost on lovin'

I could have been a painter or a president

But after 25 years

I should be good at something

Gone are the days of me being so innocent

I’m taking night classes

I’m making sculptures

I’m painting bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

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, well

I don’t care about the time or money

I just never thought that I’d be Through with this love

Stuck taking landscapes

Stuck making still lifes

Stuck making sculptures

I’m out here taking bad self portraits

Of a lonely woman

Bad self portraits of a lonely girl

Sad self portraits of a lonely woman
