If I were a painting
|
Captured on canvas
|
Alone in the portrait I would stand
|
And brush strokes bold
|
Yet soft as a whisper
|
The work of a feminine hand
|
|
Caught in a still life
|
Surrounded by shadows
|
OR lost in a background of blue
|
|
If I were a painting
|
My price would be pain
|
And the artist would have to be you
|
|
I imagine the colors
|
Would all run together
|
If you ever allowed me to cry
|
So don't paint the tears
|
Just let me remember me
|
Without you in my eyes
|
|
It's only the frame
|
That holds me together
|
Or else I would be falling apart
|
|
If I were a painting
|
I wouldn't feel
|
And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
|
