i swear i felt hope slump out of your room
i'm halfway convinced that you felt her leave too
and i painted you on my chest
i saw jackson pollock instead of a mess
leaves change, maybe i should change too 
on my way home i stepped on one, i heard it crack, i wished it was you

there's nothing like laying in sheets made of silence
i'll bury my face in you to keep in the violence 
imagine you crying over my dead body
i guess i'll stay longer cuz i know you’d be sorry 
and leaves fall, like I fell for you
and leave the trees naked, but naked’s too good to be true

and i wish i was brave
to say it to your face
there’s a fly in your paint
and you’re put on display
no i won’t draw attention
though everyone can see
i'll keep you a secret
just how you keep me
til i can’t 
and i leave 

but you wrote me a song, wait no that was me
i wasted lines fabricating personality
somebody said you aren’t what you do
but when you’re doing nothing, you got nobody to lose

and i wish i was brave
to say it to your face
there’s a fly in your paint
and you’re put on display
no i won’t draw attention
though everyone can see
i'll keep you a secret
just how you keep me

and i don’t think it ever gets better
just gradually less surprising 
and the results are all in from the art critics
so why am i still staring at your painting analyzing?

and i wish i was brave
to say it to your face
there’s a fly in your paint
and you’re put on display
no i won’t draw attention
though everyone can see
I'll just frame you in my bedroom and keep you just for me 
till i can't (4x)
and i leave
