Photographs
Rihanna Lyrics

Here's a little story I've gotta tell
I want to tell you a story about a situation that affected me deeply.

'Bout this boy I know so well
This story is about a boy that I know intimately.

Back in the day was cool and all
During that time, things were happy and enjoyable.

Fell in love, I fell in love
I fell in love with him, and he fell in love with me.

Thought he was the one for me
I believed that he was the one that I would spend the rest of my life with.

Other boys I could not see
I was completely focused on him and didn't pay attention to other boys.

And look what happened to our love
Our love didn't last, and I'm questioning where it all went wrong.

I'm like how could it be?
I'm baffled as to how we could have fallen out of love.

It should have been me and you
We were meant to be together.

It could have been you and me
We had the potential to be together, but it didn't work out.

But boy you broke my heart and now I'm standing there
You hurt me deeply, and now I'm left feeling heartbroken and confused.

Now all I got are these photographs
All I have to remember our love by are the pictures we took together.

Now baby it's killing me
The thought of you not being here is destroying me.

The fact that you ain't around
The reality that you're not here with me is hard to accept.

Baby I'm falling down
I'm struggling to cope without you in my life.

I need me a remedy, been looking for remedies
I need something to help me get through the pain of losing you.

I need you to be around, baby I'm hurting now
I need you to be here with me because I'm in a lot of pain.

I know you're a better man
I believe that you're capable of being better than you were in our relationship.

When I was your girl
When we were together, you treated me like I was yours.

Today will be better babe
I'm hoping that things will get better eventually.

All I've got are these photographs
The only thing I have left of us are these pictures which remind me of what we had.

I remember when I used to make you laugh
I remember a time when you were happy in our relationship and I made you laugh.

I don't wanna be stuck in the past
I don't want to be held back by memories of our past relationship.

But you're all that I have that I had
You're the only thing I have left that reminds me of our relationship.

And I don't wanna lose what we built this far
I don't want to forget what we had because it was important to me.

This is me and you, you're my superstar
Our relationship was special to me, and you were the most important person in my world.

I'd give anything, baby here's my heart
I would do anything to have you back in my life, my heart is yours.

My heart don't stop, my heart be beating over
My heart still beats for you, even though we're not together anymore.

My loving never stop, even though that it's over
I still love you, even though we're no longer together.

Way back when we was kissing on your grand-mama's sofa
I remember a specific moment when we were together, kissing on your grandmother's sofa.

Girl I got us lovey dovey on my photo album
I have pictures of us being affectionate and in love in my photo album.

I got them pictures back when I was rocking Calvin Klein
I have pictures of us from when I was wearing Calvin Klein clothes.

You had your GUESS jeans on looking sexy, oh huh girl
You were wearing your GUESS jeans, and I thought you looked incredibly sexy.

Why could it not be the one?
I'm wondering why things didn't work out between us, why we weren't meant to be together.

Why? Why? Why?
I'm filled with questions and not understanding why we're not together anymore.

All I've got, is nothing without
I have nothing without you.

Is nothing without you, you, you
My life is incomplete without you in it.

Got nothing without you, you, you
I have nothing of value in my life without you.

All I've got
All I have are memories of us together.

All I've got are these photographs
The only thing that remains of our relationship are these photographs.
