I've been looking so long at these pictures of you

but I never hold on to your heart
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

I look at the picture
I have nothing from you for far too long
I close my eyes
then you are with me

wherever i am
what I do,
I only think of you,
I hope now and then you think of me too
until we finally see each other again, 

it still has to be a lot of time
pass away

and now I look at your picture
I have nothing from you for far too long
believe me every day
my thoughts are with you

I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of you

a thousand traces and thoughts, 

not the smallest piece of me
you make me stagger
makes me waver
the air is full of you
I can't say don't wanna forget, oh no
my dreams burnin in my soul
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

looking so long 

for the words to be true
now only the pictures 

of you remain
