Pictures of you

Has anyone else seen the new TAC ads?

The ones with people who have lost their children/family members due to speeding drivers.

"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you, that i almost believe that they're real"

It makes me cry. Every time.


** I just found the lyrics to the song that's on the ad. It's called 'Pictures of you'. It was originally sung by The Cure. (Only the first 5 lines and the last verse are used in the ad though, I think.)


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 and whiter than the snow and you
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'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
my pictures of you
