The Cure - 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 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 you 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 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 onto 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 never
hold onto your heart looking so long for
the words to be true but always just breaking
apart my pictures of you

There is 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
