If Pictures Could Talk
Verse1
It’s been three months
since you said goodbye.
I tried my best to make you stay,
but I could only try.
You packed up all your things,
left the ring where I would see.
And the only other trace of you,
is the one thing haunting me…
Pictures on the walls,
pictures by the bed.
Every room in this house,
and every corner of my head…
Chorus
And if pictures could talk,
What would yours say?
If pictures could cry,
I’d wipe your tears away.
If pictures could feel,
I’d mend your broken heart.
And if pictures could forgive,
We could go back to the start.
I know you wouldn’t walk,
If pictures could talk.
Verse 2
It’s been three months,
since you walked away.
My heart watched helplessly,
couldn’t find the words to say.
Well I can’t go on without you,
I’ve tried to leave the past behind.
Lifes corners that I turn each day,
it seems I always find.
Pictures on the walls,
pictures by the bed.
Every room in this house,
and every corner of my head.
Chorus
And if pictures could talk,
What would yours say?
If pictures could cry,
I’d wipe your tears away.
If pictures could feel,
I’d mend your broken heart.
And if pictures could forgive,
We could go back to the start.
I know you wouldn’t walk,
if pictures could talk.
Bridge
I sit by the fire,
night after night.
Talkin’ ‘bout your feelings,
as I hold you tight.
If pictures could hear,
you’d come back today.
I found in my heart,
the words I needed to say.
Chorus
And if pictures could talk,
What would yours say?
If pictures could cry,
I’d wipe your tears away.
If pictures could feel,
I’d mend your broken heart.
And if pictures could forgive,
We could go back to the start.
I know you wouldn’t walk,
If pictures could talk.
