Pictures Of You

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, 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 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 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 my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you And never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true And 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, my pictures of you
