|
I am a gifted artist |
|
I've learned to paint this canvas well |
|
I work until |
|
I've finished |
|
An ideal image of myself |
|
But you know better |
|
I am a storyteller |
|
Quite brilliant, if |
|
I do say so |
|
I tell them tales they want to hear |
|
And they believe it's me they know |
|
But you know better |
|
Chorus: You see my imperfections |
|
Still You say |
|
I'm a masterpiece |
|
A marvelous reflection |
|
The image of |
|
Yourself in me |
|
You paint with strokes of grace |
|
Undoing my disguise |
|
You say beauty lies in the true story |
|
The world might think me foolish |
|
If they could see beneath my mask |
|
They might find my dreams laughable |
|
Or be embarrassed by my past |
|
But you know better (Chorus) |
|
Of where I've been |
|
And where you've brought me to |
|
Of who I am |
|
All because of you (4X) (Chorus 2X) |
