Pictures of Bernadette Lyrics

[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
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
