I Think I Know You

.

Your words are words

The canvas is meaningless

Just say it like you mean it

Rewrite it, repeat it

.

I painted you a portrait

You said, "Get to the point, get to the point."

Let me call it as I see it

.

Let me be the ghost writer

Who fills the page so you will take the blame

So I can be, I can be another person

A better person

Another place, a better place

Another person, a better person

Anything

.

I painted you a portrait

You said, "Get to the point, get to the point."

Let me call it as I see it

And it may not do you any justice

But it will do me well

Just to say this, just to say this

.

I sit alone and think of ways to escape this pen and ink

You wrote this in a letter:

Those left with heavy hearts who try to save the world

Are only left to sink

You left me to sink

.

I painted you a portrait

You said, "Get to the point, get to the point."

Let me call it as I see it

And it may not do you any justice

But it will do me well

Just to say this, just to say this
