Shel Paint My Life lyrics

Is this my real life, or some wounded fool's fantasy
I remember a colorful light, it once belonged to me
Until I painted my heart in white lies
They seemed so harmless at the time

Where can I find an answer for love that has no trust
In books with empty pages, covered in tomorrow's dust
When did my world become some empty place
I'm just an ivory statue on display

Paint my life, with color and light
No more lies, love me or let me say goodbye
Paint my life, with color and light
No more lies, love me or let me say goodbye

It's hard to hold you close when your touch feels so cold
No longer girl but ghost, now that you won't let me go

When did my joy become some unclean disease
That I learned not to speak of when you were listening

Paint my life, with color and light
No more lies, love me or let me say goodbye
Paint my life, with color and light
No more lies, love me or let me say goodbye

Paint my life, with color and light
No more lies, love me or let me say goodbye
Paint my life, with color and light
No more lies, love me or let me say goodbye
Love me or let me say goodbye
