I Should've Been a Painter Lyrics

This song goes out to the twenty odd girls who broke my heart

We were never together but somehow we've still grown apart

Without hesitation I'm hitting them up again

And in my aspirations I can only picture them

It's so easy to think yet I can't understand anything at all

Put in so much time just to be seen as unremarkable

And I hate the feeling but I just can't seem to live without it

But if this isn't love then how come I always feel like shit?

I'd like to make a declaration as an artist if I could be so bold

Well we are not as young as we have been told

Can't get out the way of my own pretension

I'm up on this stage begging for your attention

Cause I sure as hell won't get it from her

For the rest of my life I never wanna see a girl again

And with all my spare time I'd like to rewind and open up old wounds caused by them

The energy that fuels me is the same that has me wishing for release

I should've been a painter then everybody coulda hated me in peace

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

I've tried doing nothing and I've tried giving everything I've got

I wanna be fulfilled but loneliness really hits the spot

When every hand you've shaken and every mouth you've kissed

Has gotta be better off than this

To step outside and realize

You can't neatly organize

People inside your own little worldview

This is not the way life was meant to be lived

And I know this all to be true

That don't mean I've accepted it
