Pictures I Forgot to Take

I got pictures of the sunset, (el sunset)
none of your face.
All the moments that mattered,
I forgot to take. (forgot to take)
Forgot to take. (ay, ay)

I filmed the ocean for a minute, (for a minute)
filmed the candles on the cake.
Got a hundred little videos
of streets we couldn't name. (couldn't name)
But when you held my hand in silence,
when you cried and turned away,
when your father started dancing,
I forgot to take. (forgot to take)

Maybe memory is mercy, (es mercy)
maybe love won't fit a frame.
Still I wish I had one picture
of the way you said my name. (said my name)

Pictures I forgot to take, (forgot to take)
heartbeats I can't replay. (can't replay)
The laugh before the leaving,
the prayer before the plane. (before the plane)
I saved the sky, I saved the plate, (saved the plate)
but not your eyes that day.
Now the best parts live in places
no camera can save. (no se va)
Pictures I forgot to take. (forgot to take)

Ay, ay, (ay, ay)
no camera can save.
Ay, ay, (ay, ay)
pictures I forgot to take. (forgot to take)
No camera can save. (no se va)

There's a folder full of nothing (full of nothing)
that still breaks me when I scroll.
Hotel windows, blurry coffee,
not the hand I used to hold. (used to hold)
If I ever get another
simple evening with your face,
I will put the phone down early
and let the moment stay. (let it stay)

Maybe memory is mercy, (es mercy)
maybe love won't fit a frame.
Still I wish I had one picture
of the way you said my name. (said my name)

Pictures I forgot to take, (forgot to take)
heartbeats I can't replay. (can't replay)
The laugh before the leaving,
the prayer before the plane. (before the plane)
I saved the sky, I saved the plate, (saved the plate)
but not your eyes that day.
Now the best parts live in places
no camera can save. (no se va)
Pictures I forgot to take. (forgot to take)

Ay, ay, (ay, ay)
no camera can save.
Ay, ay, (ay, ay)
pictures I forgot to take. (forgot to take)
No camera can save. (no se va)

Ay, ay. (ay, ay)
Forgot to take. (forgot to take)
Ay, ay. (ay, ay)
No se va. (no se va)
No camera can save. (no se va)

Pictures I forgot to take, (forgot to take)
heartbeats I can't replay. (can't replay)
The laugh before the leaving,
the prayer before the plane. (before the plane)
I saved the sky, I saved the plate, (saved the plate)
but not your eyes that day.
Now the best parts live in places
no camera can save. (no se va)
Pictures I forgot to take. (forgot to take)

Ay, ay, (ay, ay)
forgot to take. (forgot to take)
Ay, ay, (ay, ay)
no se va. (no se va)
The best parts — (the best parts)
no camera can save. (no se va)

Pictures I forgot to take, (forgot to take!)
heartbeats I can't replay. (can't replay)
The laugh before the leaving,
the prayer before the plane. (before the plane)
I saved the sky, I saved the plate, (saved the plate)
but not your eyes that day.
Now the best parts live in places
no camera can save. (no se va)
Pictures I forgot to take, (canta)
heartbeats I can't replay. (can't replay)
The laugh before the leaving,
the prayer before the plane.
I saved the sky, I saved the plate, (saved the plate)
but not your eyes that day.
Now the best parts live in places
no camera can save. (no se va)
Ay, ay, no camera can save, (no se va)
but they live in me. (live in me)
Pictures I forgot to take —
you're the one I'll keep. (one I'll keep)

I got pictures of the sunset, (el sunset)
but you live in me.
No camera can save. (no se va)
Forgot to take. (forgot to take)
but you live in me.
