Paint It Black Lyrics by Statemachine

Less Than Perfect

0

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I want it painted black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
