BIG PICTURE

Love, what did you do to me?

My only hope is to let life stretch out before me

And break me on this lonely road

I'm made of many things, but I'm not what you are made of

Only now do I see the big picture

But I swear that these scars [NOT] are fine

Only you could've hurt me in this perfect way tonight

I might be blind, but you've told me the difference

Between mistakes and what you just meant for me

Don't say you ever loved me

Don't say you ever cared

My darkest friend was

Have you forgotten all the lies you left there so fresh

Turning old in the air

And now, you have no weapons

You can try to get close to those I love

Do you really think they don't know what you're made of

Only now do I see the big picture

But I swear that these scars are fine

Only you could've hurt me in this perfect way tonight

I might be blind but you've told me the difference

Between mistakes and what you just meant for me

Someone say you ever loved me

Don't say you ever cared
My darkest friend was

Q.Let's talk about "Big Picture." When did you start writing it? 

A.Reid: I wrote the song a while back, maybe 18 months ago, I think. And I kind of just wrote one note on the piano, just like really really simple. Then I just took it to the boys and they made it much better. Then we collaborated with John Hopkins as well on the production side of things, which was amazing. What it's about is quite complicated. A friend of mine, basically, had a really difficult time when we were touring and something kind of terrible happened in his personal life. It's [about] when someone does something really shitty to you, basically. Everyone can relate to that. So, when someone else goes through it, you then think of a time that you've experienced that and it just was kind of really simple. Lyrically it's a really simple message. in a way. It's kind of like. "Fuck you"
