[Intro]
Mafia
[Verse 1]
I stack these magazines in the corner
After I'm done with them
And I still got the same hope that I started with
That you'll be in one of them
My camera shed some tears since you left him
With nothing, with nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
How am I supposed to remember? Woah
I got the memories but the memories fade, baby
What am I gonna show to my kids, girl? Ooh-woah-woah
When I'm older, and my mind is telling me to forget you
What's gonna make me remember?
[Chorus]
That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures
When you knew they were all that I had left - nothing left
They were part of our history, this story
I was always taking pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad
Miss you so bad, miss you so...
[Verse 2]
We didn't make love, we celebrated its invention
Confetti on the mattress, I used to have those images
Tonight I came home they were just embers in the fire
With my hard drive, almost no goodbyes
[Pre-Chorus]
How the hell am I supposed to remember? Uh
Tell me now, the memories, the memories fade, baby
What am I gonna show to my kids, girl? Woah, na, na
When I'm older, and my mind's telling me to forget you
What's gonna make me remember?
[Chorus]
That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures
When you knew they were all that I had left – nothing left
They were part of our history, this story
I was always taking pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss you
[Bridge]
No video, no polaroids, yeah
No record of the love we had, yeah
My Nikon wasn't fast enough
To catch my heart break in half
No smiles on my picture frames, no
Just got them little basic ones that the pictures frames come with
Models, wedding pictures, you know, oh
[Chorus]
That's why I was always taking pictures, pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss a thing, miss a thing
Tell me how could you take the pictures, pictures?
When you knew they were all that I had left – nothing left
They were part of our history, this story
I was always taking pictures
'Cause I didn't wanna miss you so bad, miss you this bad
Miss you so bad, miss you so
Pictures was written by Frank Ocean & Bruce Waynne & Dirty Swift.
Pictures was produced by Midi Mafia.
Conor Maynard released Pictures on Mon Jul 30 2012.
That was crazy for me. His producers were over in London and they’d seen my covers on YouTube and got in touch with people who worked with me. I met them in a studio and they played me a few songs, some written by Frank, some not, then I heard “Pictures” and thought, “I love that song,” and Frank Oc...
I never got to meet him (Frank Ocean) but yes, he wrote the song, the guys that produced it met me in the UK, they’re called Midi Mafia, they loved my sound and said “We’ve got this song that Frank Ocean wrote, we’d love you to have it! We’d love you to record it!” I heard it and I loved it, so that...
