You Don't Have to Paint Me a Picture

The kiss was colder than I remember

When we first said hello

I guess the flame's now a little lower

I can feel you letting go.



You know the paint dries a little darker

Then when you first put it on

I guess your love's like some old cheap and magic marker

Sit forever now it's gone.



But you don't have to paint me a picture

You don't have to say things at all

You don't have to paint me a picture

I can see in the writing on the wall.



When we first fell, we fell a long way

Summer nights and winter days

Mountain sunrise, ocean sunset

Hand in hand in the haze.



Now it's cold heart summer evenings

And there's clouds on my sunrise

But you don't have to smile and say you're happy

I can see what's in your eyes.



You don't have to paint me a picture

You don't have to say things at all

You don't have to paint me a picture

I can see in the writing on the wall...
