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 wider than snow 

You 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 

My pictures of you
