"pictures of you" (lyrics by The Cure)



"I've been looking so long, at these pictures of you
That I almost believe they're real
I've been living so long, with my pictures of you
That I almost believe... 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... 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, but i never hold 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 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... all my pictures of you..."
