| The canvas is meaningless
|
| Just say it like you mean it
|
| Rewrite it, repeat it
|
| I painted you a portrait
|
| You said, «Get to the point, get to the point.»
|
| Let me call it as I see it
|
| Let me be the ghost writer
|
| Who fills the page so you will take the blame
|
| So I can be, I can be another person
|
| A better person
|
| Another place, a better place
|
| Another person, a better person
|
| Anything
|
| I painted you a portrait
|
| You said, «Get to the point, get to the point.»
|
| Let me call it as I see it
|
| And it may not do you any justice
|
| But it will do me well
|
| Just to say this, just to say this
|
| I sit alone and think of ways to escape this pen and ink
|
| You wrote this in a letter:
|
| Those left with heavy hearts who try to save the world
|
| Are only left to sink
|
| You left me to sink
|
| I painted you a portrait
|
| You said, «Get to the point, get to the point.»
|
| Let me call it as I see it
|
| And it may not do you any justice
|
| But it will do me well
|
| Just to say this, just to say this |
