Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And scream at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
[Verse 4]
Remembering you fallin' 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could've held onto your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
[Verse 7]
Looking so long at these pictures of you
I never hold onto your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart my pictures of you
[Verse 8]
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
