Painted Him Perfect

It's hard to say this

And I'm a little embarrassed

But you've been asking where my ring is

I guess it's time I be honest

I gave it four-hour drives, fly in for a night

Sat through couples therapy, tears in my eyes

I'd sing his praises on every stage and

He just had to mention he hates the attention

I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds so you never knew

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is," but truth is

Yeah, the truth is I painted him perfect

I painted him perfect

I had to break it to my parents

And Daddy says we don't do divorces

But they got it once I told them some stories

Do you even remember August 14th?

Main stage on the beach

Atlantic city, I was singing, he was causing a scene

I'll keep the rest between him and me

I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds so you never knew

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is," but truth is

Yeah, the truth is I painted him perfect

I painted him perfect

You could say I missed some red flags

But what it comes down to is I was yellow, he was green

And all we ever made was blue

I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds so you never knew

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is"

But that's not what love is

I shouldn't have to paint pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds so you never knew

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is," but truth is

Yeah, the truth is I painted him perfect

I painted him perfect

No, no, he didn't deserve it

But I painted him perfect

I painted him perfect

I painted him perfect
