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 and 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,
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 had 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

My pictures of you
