lyrics

Day after day
If you live without complaints
Why are the pictures that you paint
Shades of red and grey

I can't tell you that
I can't tell you that
I can't tell you that
I ain't tellin' you that

So you string together
A clever little letter
Pressing every single feeling to the page
You took them from your sleeve
And handed them so carefully
Over to me
But I just threw 'em right away

They say
That my
Heart is enough to make
The best of a man go bad
I say
If you
Only really knew how much
I wish I could change
But I can't.

Time after time
You wish you could press rewind
And maybe you will find
A sliver lining here
All sense got swept away
By the excuse of the day
And the letdowns and the pain
Seem inviting now

I can't tell you that
I can't tell you that
I can't tell you that
I ain't tellin' you that

You can't sing without a voice
So you had to make a choice between
Silence and a massive rivalry
You looked up at the sun
With your hands upon the gun
I can't blame you if you
Point it right at me
I would

They say
That my
Heart is enough to make
The best of a man go bad.
I say
If you
Only really knew how much
I wish I could change
But I can't

And there's trouble here
You have everything to fear
And there's trouble here
You have everything to fear
