If i were a painting     Captured on canvas        Alone in the portrait I would stand     And brush strokes bold         Yet soft as a whisper         The work of a feminine hand          Caught in a still life Surrounded by shadows     Or lost in a background of blue           If I were a painting          My price would be pain        And the artist would have to be you                     (Music break .... used open chords ) I imagine the colors             Would all run together            If you ever allowed me to cry                 So don’t paint the tears         Just let me remember me              Without you in my life            It’s only the frame         That holds me together       Or else I would be falling apart                If I were a painting         I wouldn’t fear        And you wouldn’t be breaking my heart
