Hold on to my heart

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

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 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

All my pictures of you
