| PAINTBRUSH |
I take my paintbrush with me
Wherever I may go
Incase I need to cover up
So the real me doesn't show
I was afraid to show you me
Afraid of what you'd do,that,
You might laugh or say mean things
I was afraid I might lose you
But I removed all of my paintcoats
And showed you the real true me
And you made me understand that
You accepted what you see
You were patient and stayed with me
I stripped my coats off anyway
Afraid that you might go
Please understand how much it hurts to let the real me show
Now that my coats are all stripped off
I feel naked,bare,and cold
But you still love me with all that you see
You are my friend as pure as gold
I need to save my paintbrush though
And hold it in my hand
I want to keep it handy
Incase somebody doesn't understand
So please protect me my dear friend
And thanks for loving me true
But please let me keep my paintbrush
Untill I love me too
