If i were an artist

I could paint you red
Like the passion you feel
It might not be colorful
But at least it'd be real

And I could paint you green
Like the envy you know
When you're all alone at night
With nowhere to go

And I could paint you grey
To show how you're empty
To show how you don't care
So the world can all see

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cuz that's what you are

And I could paint you taupe
Because they say that it's soothing
But you're like a drug to me
That could use some abusing

And I could paint you gold
To show you're immortal
Would that'd make you honest?
Would it make you sincere?

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cuz that's what you are

ohh oh

Scarlet and Clover
And all the things we talked about
Violet and green and the world in between
The grey skies, your blue eyes
Broken hearts are all that you know

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cuz that's what you are

And I could be clear
Yea you could see through me
But I could be beautiful
Just to be yours
Just to be

And I could paint you clear
I'd make you graceful
I'd make you beautiful
Cuz that's what you are

Cuz I could declare
That I could be graceful
I swear I'd be colorful
Just to be yours

If I were an artist then I could be yours.
