Pictures Of Bernadette Lyrics

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
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
Bernadette
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
Pictures of Bernadette
Pictures of Bernadette
I've got a message from you to say you'd left
Bernadette
Pictures of Bernadette
I've got a message from you to say you'd left
Pictures of Bernadette
I've got a message from you to say you'd left
I've got a message from you to say you'd left
Bernadette
Bernadette

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well people, help me here, surely it's about a real event in history, maybe something from WWII because we have the "we shall overcome" constanlty on the 12".

Is Bernadette a child, she left only the pictures? took the baby away. It's a tragedy, though, and the music and singing convey it best. Was released outside of a studio album, so it's awkward, don't think it got far on the charts, should have.
