If I Were An Artist

Jake Coco

And I could paint you red
Like the passion you feel
It might not be colourful
But atleast it'd be real

And I could paint you green
Like the envy you know
When you're all alone and I
Have nowhere to go

And I could paint you grey
To show how you're empty
To show how you don't care
So the world can all see

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

And I could paint you taupe
Because they say that it's soothing
But you're like a drug to me
And I could use some abusing

And I could paint you gold
To show you're a mourner
Would that make you honest?
Would it make you sincere ?

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

ohh oh

No starting and hovering
All the things we talked about
Bothered and breathed
And the world in between
The gray skies,the blue eyes
Broken and I'm drowning you know

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
cause that's what you are

And I could be clear
Yeah you could see through me
But I could be beautiful
Just to be yours
Just to be...

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cause that's what you are

Cause I could be clear
And I could be graceful
I swear I'd be colourful
Just to be yours

If I would have been honest
Then I could be yours
