Photographs

[Verse 1]
I don't need nerves of steel
I can resist a gentle tease
If it's a test, I can be tough
If it's a bluff, I'm not impressed
You closed the books, I'm off the hook
You left the stress, I kept the mess
I must confess, I have no fear
But neither the guts, my dear

[Chorus]
I picture your photographs
I'm dying here and I don't know why
I picture the pose you held
The blush you felt, but I won't ask why
I picture you somewhere else
The story ends, but I don't know how
If only the timing had been right

[Verse 2]
I'm backing up my favourite shots
It's not a lot, but all I got
Give me a scheme, 'cause as it seems
I'm running out of good ideas
I'm risk averse, I don't jump first
I'm taking note of each alert
So no more loss, I'll let it go
I'll take things nice and slow

[Chorus]
I picture your photographs
I'm dying here and I don't know why
I picture the pose you held
The blush you felt, but I won't ask why
I picture you somewhere else
The story ends, but I don't know how
If only the timing had been right

[Bridge]
You cut me out, you cut me out
You cut me out, you cut me out
You cut me out, you cut me out
You cut me out, you cut me out
You cut me out, you cut me out
You cut me out, you cut me out

[Chorus]
I picture your photographs
I'm dying here and I don't know why
I picture the pose you held
The blush you felt, but I won't ask why
I picture you somewhere else
The story ends, but I don't know how
If only the timing had been right
