If I Were A Painting Lyrics

If I were a painting Captured on canvas Alone in the portrait I would stand
And brush strokes bold Yet soft as a whisper The work of a feminine hand
Caught in the still life Surrounded by shadows Or lost in a background of blue
If I were a painting My price would be pain And the artist would have to be you
I imagine the colors Would all run together If you ever allowed me to cry
So don't paint the tears Just let me remember me Without you in my life
It's only the frame That holds me together Or else I'd be falling apart
If I were a painting I wouldn't feel And you wouldn't be breaking my heart
