i've been l ooking so long at these pi ctures of you
that I al most believe that they 're real
i've been l iving so long with my pict ures of you
that I al most believe that the pict ures 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
and 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 angles so much more than everything
oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly
open my eyes but I never see anything
if on ly i'd thought of the ri ght words
I c ould have held onto your heart
if on ly i'd thought of the ri ght words
I wo uldn't be breaking ap art all my pictures of y ou
looking so long at these pictures of you
but I never held onto your heart
looking so long for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart my pictures of you
there was not hing in the world
that I ev er wanted more than to f eel you deep in my hea rt
there was not hing in the world
that I ev er wanted more that to ne ver feel the breaking
ap art all my pictures of yo u
