Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

Pictures of You by The Cure

This song is about loss, regret, heartbreak and the manic way we hold on to memories of people we didn't have to lose but did. Sometimes a picture is all you have left and it's never really enough. The Cure speaks the words you're not sure you can express. If this isn't sadness then i have no idea what is.

Pictures of You

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
And I almost believe that
they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
And 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 whiter 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

What song makes you sad?
