Pictures of You

Choking on nostalgia...


Pictures Of You
The Cure

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
that I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
that I almost believe that the pictures
are all I can feel.

Remembering you
standing quiet in the rain
as I ran to your heart to be near
and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close
how I always held close in your fear

Remembering you running soft through the night
you were bigger, and brighter, and whiter than snow.
Screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
and you finally found
all your courage to let it all go.

Remembering you fallen into my arms
crying for the death of you heart
You were stone white, so delicate, so lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark

Remembering you,
How you used to be
slow drowned, you were angels
so much more than everything

Hold for the last time
then slip away quietly
Open my eyes but I've never seen anything.

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have hold onto your heart

If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
all my pictures of you.

Looking so long at these pictures of you
but I never hold onto your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart
My pictures of you.

There was nothing in the world
that I ever wanted more
than to feel you deep in my heart.

There was nothing in the world
that I ever wanted more
than to never feel the breaking apart of
all my pictures of you.
