Amerie - Paint Me Over lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1:]

Lonely days and lonely nights are waiting for me

But I gotta leave

From the day rise up until the night falls down

I'm losin myself, so I can't stay around

[Hook:]

I'm still the girl that you met, you called me perfect

But now you're changin' I'm not good enough anymore

So I did it for us, I wanted to keep your love

You tried to mold me

And I thought that I would please you more

[Chorus:]

You want me to be what you want me to be

But you can't

Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

I tried my best to be your everything

But you can't

Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

Oh Ohhh

[Verse 2:]

I close my eyes and memorize the girl that I was

Before there was us

Hard to remember, it's been so long since she's been around

I gave up myself, and still

I let you down

[Hook:]

I'm still the girl that you met, you called me perfect

But now you're changin' I'm not good enough anymore

So I did it for us, I wanted to keep your love

You tried to mold me

And I thought that I would please you more

[Chorus:]

You want me to be what you want me to be

But you can't

Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

I tried my best to be your everything

But you can't

Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

Oh Ohh

[Bridge:]

I must have fought for your heart

If it was mine from the start

Your love's conditional

Mine I let you have for free

You had a price to your love, and gladly I gave it up

And now there's nothing left

Because I let you change all of me

[Chorus:]

You want me to be what you want me to be

But you can't

Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

I tried my best to be your everything

But you can't

Paint me over, you tried to paint me over

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
