If I Were An Artist Songtext

And I can paint you grey
To show how you're empty
To show how you don't care
So the world can all see

And I can paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

And I can paint you taupe
Because they say that it's soothing
But you're like a drug to me
And I could use some abusing

And I can paint you gold
To show you're a mourner
That'd make you honest
Make you sincere
And I can paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

ohh oh

No starting and hovering
All the things we talked about
Bothered and breathed
And the world in between
Gray skies, blue eyes
Broken and I'm drowning you know

And I can paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
cause that's what you are

And I could be clear
Yeah you could see through me
But I could be beautiful
Just to be yours
Just to be

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

I could be clear
I could be graceful
I swear I'd be colorful
Just to be yours

If I would have been honest
Then I would be yours
