Let me try to paint the picture for you

Let me try to paint the picture for you
She hasn’t called you since before you can remember
But you can think about that as much as you want your phones still ringing
You answer to a voice that tries to sound calm but you know otherwise
Let me try to paint the picture for you
She says she wants to tell you with words that falter
But as hard as she tries her heart aint singing
You tell her you’ll come see her tomorrow with your fear in disguise
Let me try to paint the picture for you
She’s sitting in your car now and her pride still wont surrender
But in aggravation hands you the paper with the doctors finding
You tell her you will try to help her, though all you feel is hate and despise


Let me try to paint the picture for you
So your heart too will break
Let me try to paint the picture for you
So that we can fix this mistake


Let me try to paint the picture for you
He wanders in laughing and smiling
But you wonder why he’s there
You press it from your mind to try to pay attention
Let me try to paint the picture for you
He hides it well he doesn’t want you to see him crying
But the topic is too heavy its too much to bare
You feel his pain with nervous apprehension
Let me try to paint the picture for you
He portrays his heart as black and dying
But the razor proves otherwise as crimson spills from the wound, does anyone care?
You and he are the same, you have to tell him, hiding now is out of the question


Let me try to paint the picture for you
So your heart too will quake
Let me try to paint the picture for you
So that we can all stop being fake


Let me try to paint the picture for you
They lie on the street all around us
But you can justify it, cant you?
You tell your self drugs, and bad choices are to blame
Let me try to paint the picture for you
Their life is not worthless
But if it ended tonight what would we do?
You wouldn’t notice your life is the same
Let me try to paint the picture for you
Their plight is something we must discuss
But are you willing to?
You, the first step must be taken by you, or You, will be to blame


Let me try to paint a picture for you
One you really don’t want to see
So let me try to paint this picture for you
With words instead of paint
For this picture is painted for you
So that your heart can break


Yes this picture I’ve painted for you
Is so that you can no longer fake
That this picture I’ve painted for you
Though words instead of paint
Is a picture I’ve painted for you
Because its something we all must see
