I'll Paint a Picture Lyrics

I've never had much self control

And now there's little of it left

I wonder aloud if what I'm doing is real

And I'm afraid of the answer I get

It's all real

But the feelings aren't exact

It's nothing I haven't survived

But I feel quite a bit more intact

So I'll paint a picture of your face

Just to feel like I have something of you

And I'll think about dyeing my hair

In the same way that you do

I've never had much self control

I pierce my ears for fun

With no good reason that I know of

But when I'm bored, it gets the job done

But this is real

Unlike some of the things I've seen

So should I let this happen?

And say all the things I mean

So I'll paint a picture of your face

Just to feel like I have something of you

And I'll think about dyeing my hair

In the same way that you do

Because I'm not sure

How I'm supposed to be feeling

But I can guarantee that you're on my mind

And even though

I just want to be like you

I don't think it hurts to want to hold your hand

So I'll paint a picture of your face

Just to feel like I have something of you

And I'll think about dyeing my hair

In the same way that you do

So I'll paint a picture of your face

Just to feel like I have something of you

And I'll think about dyeing my hair

And change the way I dress to be more like you

I'll dress in a way that reminds me of you
