Pictures of You

I've been looking so long at my 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

And screamed at the make-believe

Screamed at the sky

And you finally found all your courage

To let it all go

Remembering you falling into my arms

Crying for the death of your 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

So drowned, we were angels

So much more than everything

Hold for the last time

Then slip away, quietly

Open eyes, but I never see anything

If only I'd known of the right words

I could've held on to 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

And always hold on to your heart

Looking so long for the words to be true

And always just breaking apart

My pictures of you

Oh

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 my pictures of you
