The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know that I ended it, but
Why won't you chase after me?
You know me better than I do
So why didn't you stop me?
Why didn't you stop me
And paint it over?
I look for a picture of you
To keep in my pocket
But I can't seem to find one
Where you look how I remember
Look how I remember
Look how I remember
Paint it over
