Painting By Numbers

I can be happy in sadness
I just can’t be happy in love
I can find comfort in madness
He’s like an old friend I can’t rise above…
And I can be
I can be
I can be
So unhappy
I could say
I could say
Every glass appears half empty to me…
But today
But today
That’s not who I want to be
I’m painting by numbers
And I want some calm in my comfort
I want some bounce in my brain
I want to stand behind one thought
And stop all this looking for blame
Don’t do bright
And don’t do breezy
So I stick with
What comes easy
I just want some cream on my corn flakes
I want to sugar my tea
I just want to stop all this torment
I want to do something that’s nice for me and…
And I could be
I could be
I could be
So unhappy
I could say
I could say
Every glass appears half empty to me
But today
But today
That’s not who I want to be…
So I’m painting by numbers
Painting by numbers
