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 these pictures of you 
 i almost believe that these 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 wider than snow 
 and i screamed At the make believe screamed at the sky 
 and you finally found all your courage to let go 
  
 remembering you fallen into my arms 
 crying for the death of your heart 
 you were stone white so delicate 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 
 oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly 
 open my eyes but i never see anything 
  
 if only i'd thought of the right words 
 i could have held on to your heart 
 if only i'd thought of the right words 
 i wouldn't be breaking apart 
  
 all these pictures of you 
  
 looking so long at these pictures of you 
 but i never held on to 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 never wanted more 
 than to feel you deep in my heart 
 there was nothing in the world that i never wanted more 
 than to never feel the breaking apart 
  
 all my pictures of you
