Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know that I ended it, but
Why won't you chase after me?
You know me better than I do
So why didn't you stop me?
[Chorus]
Why didn't you stop me?
And paint it over
[Verse 2]
I look for a picture of you
To keep in my pocket
But I can't seem to find one
Where you look how I remember
Look how I remember
[Chorus]
Look how I remember
Painted over
