The Cure - Pictures of You [US Video Mix]

Copied!

{Verse 1}
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

{Verse 2}
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

{Verse 3}
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and widеr than snow
And screamed at the makе-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

{Verse 4}
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

{Verse 5}
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

{Bridge}
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

{Interlude}

{Verse 6}
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
And always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

{Interlude}

{Outro}
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

Biography

edit bio

The Cure, an English rock band formed in 1976, has had a long and illustrious career filled with ups and downs, experimentation, and ultimately, success. The band was originally comprised of primary songwriter Robert Smith, drummer Lol Tolhurst, and bassist Michael Dempsey, who was later replaced by Simon Gallup.

Before recording their critically acclaimed album Disintegration in 1989, Robert Smith had doubts about the band's ability to create a masterpiece as he approached 30 years of age. The Cure's career up to that point had been marked by a defiance against people's expectations, starting as a punk band before being pushed towards pop for their first album.

Smith's desire to create music that was true to his vision for The Cure led to a period of somber and eclectic sounds, culminating in the success of their 1987 double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Despite this success, the band continued to be labeled as a pop band, which frustrated Smith even more.

With Disintegration, The Cure finally achieved the masterpiece that Smith had been aiming for, solidifying their place in music history. The band continued to find success with subsequent releases, including their Greatest Hits compilation, their eponymous 2004 comeback record, and 2008's 4:13 Dream.

In 2019, The Cure was rightfully inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential and enduring bands in the history of rock music.
