Your words are words The canvas is meaningless Just say it like you mean it Rewrite it, repeat it I painted you a portrait You said, "Get to the point, get to the point." Let me call it as I see it Let me be the ghost writer Who fills the page so you will take the blame So I can be, I can be another person A better person Another place, a better place Another person, a better person Anything I painted you a portrait You said, "Get to the point, get to the point." Let me call it as I see it
And it may not do you any justice But it will do me well Just to say this, just to say this I sit alone and think of ways to escape this pen and ink You wrote this in a letter: Those left with heavy hearts who try to save the world Are only left to sink You left me to sink I painted you a portrait You said, "Get to the point, get to the point." Let me call it as I see it And it may not do you any justice But it will do me well Just to say this, just to say this
