Paint Me

You drew the parts of me you cared for least
All I mean by that is you love me for me 

You got things going on deep in your heart 
And what I love about you you’re not afraid to cry 
a Lot 

Now I see

You see life in lines and colours, rosey reds and hazy blues.
But don’t paint me like I’m just your lover
Paint me like I’m apart of you
Paint me like I’m apart of you


You got things you’re trying to work out on your own
And I respect that but sometimes I wish that’d you just call

Can we just pretend to be a couple of rainbow lorikeets 
Or we could just talk in tones and ramble on in made up Japanese 

Now I see

You see life in lines and colours, rosey reds and hazy blues.
But don’t paint me like I’m just your lover
Paint me like I’m apart of you
Paint me like I’m apart of you


But for now your back and forth from the canvas and my eyes 
Lets just forget every thought and sit here for a while
Just feel each others smiles 
Feel each others smiles


You see life in lines and colours, rosey reds and hazy blues.
But don’t paint me like I’m just your lover
Paint me like I’m apart of you
Paint me like I’m apart of you
