You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture
The kiss was colder than I remember
When we first said hello
I guess the flame's now a little lower
I can feel you letting go.
You know the paint drys a little darker
Then when you first put it on
I guess your love's like some old cheap and magic marker
Said forever how it's gone.
But you don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say a thing at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall.
When we first fell, we fell a long way
Summer nights and winter days
Mountain sunrise, ocean sunset
Hand in hand in the haze.
Now it's cold heart summer evenings
And there's clouds on my sunrise
But you don't have to smile and say you're happy
I can see what's in your eyes.
You don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say a thing at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall...
When we first said hello
I guess the flame's now a little lower
I can feel you letting go.
You know the paint drys a little darker
Then when you first put it on
I guess your love's like some old cheap and magic marker
Said forever how it's gone.
But you don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say a thing at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall.
When we first fell, we fell a long way
Summer nights and winter days
Mountain sunrise, ocean sunset
Hand in hand in the haze.
Now it's cold heart summer evenings
And there's clouds on my sunrise
But you don't have to smile and say you're happy
I can see what's in your eyes.
You don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say a thing at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall...
