Secrets (Paint Me Away)

Paint me away
Color me shades of blue and grey
Give me a reason to keep my troubles in pools of black
Buried so deep

Got to let it drain to make room for the rain
Sure that the certainty heals my pain

Waiting around to be wanted
Wasting time along the way
Lost in my own mind that's haunted
With all kinds of secrets I have saved

Paint me away
This place has lost its love for me today
Give me the silence I need
I've never been the kind of one to plead

I try to keep from stumbling
My thoughts as busy as a bumbling bee
Can't find the right words to say
It won't be a secret if I give it away

Waiting around to be wanted
Wasting time along the way
Lost in my own mind that's haunted
With all kinds of secrets I have saved

Paint me away
I've trouble my space with my mistakes
The wind heavy laced by the sound
Of my castle in the clouds crashing down

Wish I'd never have said, confessed
Sometimes it seems the worst is for the best
Like the fairytale no one wrote goes
The sobering stream of worries flows

By the time I felt you were listening
You'd flown so far with my heartstrings
Losing faith that you'd come back to me
You'd flown so far on my heart's wings

When you're out in the unknown and free
Dream of me
