My picture of you (The cure)

i've been looking so long at these pictures of
you that i almost belive 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 than the 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 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
have hold 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

MI DUELO

Voy a empezar borrando las imágenes que me quedan en este espacio material y en mi memoria,
Voy a morderme la lengua para ya no hablar
Eliminar tu número y hasta destrozar el teléfono contra la pared
Voy a intentar llegar a casa sin llorar ante la oscuridad y el vacío
Reconstruir los fragmentos de la vida que ansié tanto hasta perder
Voy a caer en la cuenta de los días anteriores a tu presencia que hoy me parece vital
Voy a dejar de reprocharme el no advertir las huellas del propio olvido y el abandono
Dejar de desear ser tu mujer y la madre de tus hijos
Dejar de soñar con nuestro lugar
Voy a llorar hasta quedarme dormida
Y dejarte en paz

Voy volver a mirarme en el espejo e intentar reconocerme como lo que alguna vez creí ser
Dejar de ver tu fantasma en la puerta esperándome
Intentar por sobre todas las cosas dejar de extrañar tu cuerpo en el mío
