Tainted (feat. Jennifer Owens)

Of course I still remember that summer night

I still can see your face light and you're glowing

You took my heart without knowing

But now all I can see are your tearful eyes

You told me that our story was about to die, so you’re going

And since then I'm missing something

All of the pianos I’ve been playing have been out of tune

And all of the guitars sound like garbage too

And all of the rhythms have been slightly out of time

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted

The picture isn’t perfect, but at least it’s painted

At least now we can move, sing our own sad song, and I’ll walk away a strongеr person

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s taintеd

You brought your melody into my life

And I would hear the ways it could harmonize with my own

The sweetest song I have known

But now it seems you’re going down a different path

I thought you knew you were better than that

Were you wrong? Were we out of tune all along?

All of the emotions I’ve been feeling don’t make any sense

And the pages of our story have been torn to shreds

The song that we were singing has become our last duet

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted

The picture isn’t perfect, but at least it’s painted

At least now we can move, sing our own sad song, and I’ll walk away a stronger person

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted

Oh go on and chase your dream, even if it’s without me

Oh

I wish that I could always hold you in my arms

But right now all I have is my own guitar

And I'm trying to keep the music from dying

But maybe the melody was meant to die

So one day a better one can come to life when it’s time

So darling, don’t you cry

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted

The picture isn’t perfect, but at least it’s painted

At least now we can move, sing our own sad song, and I’ll walk away a stronger person

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted
