Painted Blue

When your name rolls off my tongue
I start to lose control
Sweetest sound I've ever heard
Sweetest song that I know
I get lost in your whispers
As you crawl across my bed
In all my twenty-five Decembers
The more I love you, as a man said
I'm like a preacher when he prays
I'm on my knees, I leave your name
But it's painted blue right on my front door
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
But time and age is owned by you
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
So when the pain starts to creep in
I just pour another shot again
So I don't have to miss you anymore
Why, this poison just seeps in
My mind just runs in place
I been hanging a clothespin
Time stands still on my clock's face
I'm like a preacher when he prays
I'm on my knees, I leave your name
But it's painted blue right on my front door
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
But time and age is owned by you
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
So when the pain starts to creep in
I just pour another shot again
So I don't have to miss you anymore
My voice has had too many cigarettes
And too much alcohol
I'll be damned if I don't leave all this mess
I'll get away if I have to crawl
You're still the dream that I remember
And still I've got all your stuff
Love is still a burning ember
I just trade it, the love for your pride
I'm like a preacher when he prays
I'm on my knees, I leave your name
But it's painted blue right on my front door
I've been broke down and I've been fooled
But time and age is owned by you
So I just lay here with a bottle on the floor
So when the pain starts to creep in
I just pour another shot again
So I don't have to miss you anymore
