The Cure - Pictures Of You lyrics

I've been looking so long at my 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've 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 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've 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
