Lyrics

[Intro]
I feel just like Picasso
And you're my masterpiece
I painted you a lifetime
Now what's left are memories, ooh
[Verse 1]
Sunlight's in the curtains
Diamonds in the trees
I gave you colors blue and gold
As you lay upon the sheets
[PreChorus]
Something so familiar
Drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand
Takes me back to what I can't erase
[Chorus]
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures of you
[Verse 2]
I could almost smell your perfume
In each brush stroke of the flowers
I left you tea from China
Waiting in your sacred tower
[PreChorus]
Something so familiar
Drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand
Takes me back to what I can't erase
[Chorus]
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures of you
[Bridge]
If I should go crazy, if I would go blind
I'd still fill the canvas from the pictures in my mind
If that's the only way to make you mine
[PreChorus]
It was something so familiar
Drawn from this blank page
Every line from my hand
Takes me back to what I can't erase
[Chorus]
No matter how I try, no matter what I do
I'm still painting pictures, I'm always painting pictures
Still painting pictures of you
[Chorus]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
