lyrics

Oil paints can often make a canvas shine
Make the world seem as if it's so damn divine
Maybe they remind me of the shine from her hair
Maybe they remind me of a love that once was there

Started all way too fast and she tried to push
So I did everything I could to try and shake her loose
Living for a disease that I just can't seem to break
Couldn't be too long before I made another mistake
Precious stones and metals I could never afford
I was waiting everyday for her to walk out the door
Wasting every moment on the dime I shouldn't spend
Waiting for the moment for it to finally end

Oil paints can often make a canvas shine
Make the world seem as if it's so damn divine
Maybe they remind me of the shine from her hair
Maybe they remind me of a love that once was there

Late day rising in a cold and empty bed
I'm trying to shake some demons I've let loose in my head
I'm rolling over hoping that I'll catch her smile
Hoping she'll return but it's been quite a while

Oil paints can often make a canvas shine
Make the world seem as if it's so damn divine
Maybe they remind me of the shine from her hair
Maybe they remind me of a love that once was there
