Open Canvas Lyrics

Feeling blank, empty of everything

You came along

Act like it was nothing

Picked up the brush

Painted right over me

Showing me how the world

Could be shining

From the different cloudy grays

To all the ocean blues

From the trees and evergreens

You paint in every hue

But I see only you

I was fine, I was okay

Your open canvas

Painted away

The perfect frame

Up on display for everyone to see

All eyes but yours, looking right at me

Walking past do you even notice?

Is this how you're ignoring us

I was fine, I was okay

Your open canvas

Painted away

The perfect frame

We held together

But the glass shattered

Did it even matter

So abstract

The glass was cracked

Not a clay sculpture

I'm my own structure

The new paint is dryin'

I'm no longer cryin'

Let me walk away

There's nothing left to say

I'll be fine, I'll be okay

My open canvas

Can't paint away

Everything we did

I'm not broken

I'm not battered

I'll paint my color
