To the painter, from the poet Lyrics

She had a laugh that I could hear from miles away

Back to my house or on the beach, it all feels the same

And now I think about it every day

She told me love didn't just happen, that it was a choice

I said the poets disagree, but I'm just a boy

And now I think about her every day

I wonder if she'll ever keep me on the canvas she made

I hope that I can make up for all that I wouldn't say

I hope that she feels the same

So don't you tell me I'm alone in this

Don't you tell me I'm at fault for this

Don't you let me be alone

Don't you let me be alone in this

Don't you blame me for the fall that I missed

Don't you tell me I'm alone

I'll keep her feet next to my chest, yeah she was so right

I know my hands don't look the best, but I'll work all night

If I can prove her this time

I wonder if she'll ever start to feel the same that she did

I hope she'll reminisce the days when we would dress up as kids

I hope she'll never forget

So don't you tell me I'm alone in this

Don't you tell me I'm at fault for this

Don't you let me be alone

Don't you let me be alone in this

Don't you blame me for the fall that I missed

Don't you tell me I'm alone

I'm holding onto your breath again

I'll wear the shirt that you found me in

You said you spent your entire life loving me

Oh

Don't you let me be alone

Don't you let me be alone

Don't you blame me for the fall
