I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners Lyrics

It took a while for me to see things as they were In the light of truth, it wasn't you, it was me I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt Against the wall, who'd of thought, it was me
From there I couldn't even look over my shoulder And I kicked down all the walls and started all over
And I don't paint myself into corners anymore In a brittle heart of clay, I threw my brushes away The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me Are out the door, I don't paint myself into corners anymore
When you left you left me with no other choice at all But to sink to my knees and cry I never knew just how far a soul could fall Like a rock, I couldn't stop, didn't try
And I locked myself behind shades of misery But when I let you go, I set myself free
And I don't paint myself into corners anymore In a brittle heart of clay, I threw my brushes away The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me Are out the door, I don't paint myself into corners anymore
Oh the tools of the trade that chained your memory to me Are out the door, I don't paint myself into corners anymore I don't paint myself into corners anymore
