Lyrics

Pictures of Bernadette

[Verse 1]

Change, I was flying

Seems my life is dying

[Pre-Chorus]

How can I confess

I've given everything that I had and still you left

How can I forget

I'm getting visions of you inside my head

[Chorus]

Pictures of Bernadette

Pictures of Bernadette

[Verse 2]

Change, I'm no closer

How can I reproach her

[Pre-Chorus]

How can I pretend

I'm living like a king in a land that's heaven sent

How could I suspect

I'd get a message from you to say you'd left

[Chorus]

Pictures of Bernadette

[Bridge]

Recollection sees the sun upon your hair

How I feel it, love we used to share

Recollection sees the sun upon your hair

How I feel it, love we used to share

[Chorus]

How could I accept

Of giving everything that I had and still you left

Pictures of Bernadette
