Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been looking so long at my pictures of you
I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger, sleeker, 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
[Verse 4]
Remembering you fallen into my arms
Cryin' for the death of your heart
You were stone-white, so delicate, lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
[Verse 5]
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 never see anything
[Verse 6]
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 my pictures of you
[Verse 7]
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never held on to your heart
I'll be looking so long for the words to be true
But they're always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
[Verse 8]
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
To feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world I ever wanted more
To never feel the breaking apart my pictures of you
